The slow death of authenticity in an attention economy
I call bullshit on "if you're authentic nobody will care". I've been blogging for over 20 years (not on Twitter, Heavens forbid) and never did any promotional stuff and I am fine with amount of engagement I get. If literally nobody would ever engage again, I'd probably still do it. I also read dozens of other blogs, which don't do promotions - somehow I found them. There are probably hundreds of more interesting ones I haven't found and never will - but such is life, you can't earn all the money, eat all the food or read all thd content. I suspect those who complain about it either are in a wrong business or let their ego get ahead of them.<p>Also, can we get people to stop to confuse whatever weird things happen on Twitter with all the internet and all the economy?
