This is such an important topic that's not discussed enough.

Glad you said it.

It's a pedestal manufacturing GiGa factory. Or at least feels like one in the growth hacking vertical.

I got spooked by what's this creator economy? What exactly are they creating in the first place? A sort of meta skill of learning how to hack attention by hacking attention.

Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, especially on Twitter. The leverage you get by building an audience is insane, but social media is a hostile place. Most of the attention goes to a few people, so you’re stuck in this limbo where you want to share helpful stuff, but you must make it borderline cringe to get people to read it.

Agree. And borderline cringe is maybe now table stakes as the attention antennas of mass audience are now trained, even worn down to notice mostly that.

I guess such titles are only bad when they don’t deliver. I’m not a fan of writing such titles because I’m not good at it yet

So I was doing the entire thing wrong... Running for followers and sharing content about Frontend that brings more likes & engagements

But now I realized that is nothing new and not bringing anything good! Thanks for sharing about this Akos. Really appreciate what you're doing for the community 🙌
