I've never thought about how glorified YouTube was until now. Usually, when a story is focusing only on the positive or negative, it's some sort of dogma. Nothing is black and white. You pointed it out very well. There is a price to pay for those people but probably younger generations do not see that and they only see the attention those people receive.

With that being said, I still think people who produce great content have a lot to gain from studying what works for those people. I'd rather shout my great content to as many people as possible than to no one!

But yeah, shit trick won't do the trick especially if we're producing content to create deep, meaningful, and long-term relationship.

Amazing post. Thanks for sharing. The hook pulled me in right away!

...preach brotherman...only going to get more heinously obnoxious with a.i. creators in the fold as well...i think the key to the dichotomy in some ways is engagement...a value creator is here to grow/meet/commune...a content creator is here to find the most lucrative sponsorship...the brightside of your story is you found a hole in the system though and got to write this fun recap to boot...
