Let's break down how success in today’s world isn’t about who you know—it’s about who knows you. I take us back to the pre-internet days when getting noticed as a musician, writer, or creator meant begging gatekeepers like book publishers or music execs to pick you. The barriers were sky-high! Fast forward to now, and the internet’s a game-changer—anyone can share their stuff globally. But here’s the catch: big tech and their algorithms are the new gatekeepers. They decide what blows up, and guess what? The crazier, more outrageous you are, the more you get seen. I’m talking wild thumbnails, arm-flailing vids—the stuff that grabs eyeballs. I argue we’ve gotta be an outrageous version of ourselves to stand out, but keep it real, not fake. It’s the attention economy, folks, and algorithms rule. I wonder if there’s a way to ditch the middleman and still get noticed—let’s chat about that!---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: ⁠https://10xyou.us⁠Get AIDAILY every weekday. ⁠https://aidaily.us⁠My blog: ⁠https://thinkfuture.com
