I'll show you valueless content!
Ha. Your thoughts always provoke greater thinking and reflection about the ship I'm sailing, but not out of doubt. I came to similar conclusion, concerning a different platform, Instagram, that the real value I derived from my stint in the space -- the network I built holds more sway, as compared to the actual photography I shared. Not to say I did not improve my skills, albeit they did, foundations I laid long ago are helping me progress at a faster clip in these times. So do people know they're the main drivers of value?
I think most believe they are the source of value when it comes to the content, we are the product, right? That is partially true but as I see it, the real value we provide is the energy that pushes information along the relationship wiring.
