Yeah, that's a fair point. I'm not sure if we'll ever escape views given that we naturally chase the affirmation of others. Subscriptions, maybe, but you're talking about a fundamental restructuring of the entire economy. Otherwise that will be sought after whether you're big or small because everyone wants to get paid for their work. But I do think we can break out of this platform conformity issue, which is a big deal as it stifles innovation and creativity. And thankfully a lot of people are working on this issue. So we'll see in time!

Ah gotcha. That makes more sense. Appreciate the clarity and yeah, I agree. It's possible that social media's net is cast way too wide. I personally notice my experiences are more unique the smaller the group is. But then again, the smaller the group, the less ability you have to make a living off of your work. I think we'll figure out a happy balance though.
