How much does consistency actually matter?

I’m a new creator and have been at it for about a month and a half. I’ve been running a series where I turn people’s suggestions into image carousels, and those always do really well. The thing is, they take time to make, between sorting through comments, crafting the concept, and editing everything. So I usually only post them once a week. I work full-time, so doing more than that consistently just isn’t realistic.

To keep the algorithm happy, I’ve been posting what I’d call filler content in between stuff that’s quicker to make but doesn’t perform nearly as well. Lately, I’ve been wondering if that’s actually helping or hurting. Should I just lean into the weekly series that works and drop the filler? Or is staying active daily still worth it, even if it’s not my best content? Looking at my profile people probably get lost in the randomness and can’t find the “goods”.

Any help is much appreciated (I have 880 followers and 121k likes)
