Great take on this. For newcomers that see the "success" as far as engagement of these posts, its hard for newcomers to not want to copy what they are doing. Understanding the strategy behind why certain tactics work would definitely be a post worth reading.

I want this timeline to be over. The hustle bro content was already bad enough before AI. Now there will be a flood so maybe I need to stay away from the Internet for a while πŸ˜†

Just kidding. I love Substack and Mastodon - they are the only platforms that make the Web bearable at this point

Likewise. And i think this is the future. The tech savvy folks like us would avoid search engines or anything touched by AI like the plague and retreat into ecosystems where actual humans recommend content.

It really isn't a reach to say that the future of the Internet would largely be made up of Ai talking to AI πŸ™ƒ
