People talk about how the internet makes it easier to find niche audiences but it& #39;s still so so hard.

Algorithms/feeds do a much better job sharing your stuff than your readers. But if you& #39;re seeking to please algorithms, you& #39;ll devolve into broad audience building

idk I think I put out good stuff? but the reality is that it won& #39;t get in front of the right eyes (even if they& #39;re looking for it) unless something happens to bring it across their face

you can literally see bumps happen when some meme went viral

So now you& #39;re playing this game where you alternate between audience building stuff to get people to even know you exist with higher quality stuff to make them stay

I think we like to pretend that the internet has figured out a way to capture the value of high value audiences vs. broad ones, but I& #39;m not sure it has. It& #39;s always tempting to just devolve into lowest common denominator, broadly appealing takes because the $ path is much clearer

I& #39;m trying to explore more here

-Investing in companies via the readership
