Thank you Alex. This is what I needed to hear today. I was feeling sad due to the reality that so many people seem to be more drawn to span than depth- writing hacks, how to grow your numbers, bla bla bla. It can be really discouraging when the algorithm rewards selling out instead of creativity and inspiration of a human’s mastery and life experience.
I know I have those lurkers. It was obvious on Medium where no one commented or clapped, but I had views and reads and a few dollars. So they are outthere.
Great post! Love the concept of thinking for the long term. It helps you focus on the big picture and reduces some of the pressure around immediate success.
I definitely think it will still be significant, people have been saying online writing is dying for about 20 years now and it couldn't be further from the truth.
Talent without consistency is useless. The only way to be consistent is to be just consistent. No other way. Keep going even when it's hard. Keep moving. Lovely pierce
Powerful stuff, Alex! This is super encouraging for anyone thinking about writing online but feels discouraged. I loved the point about writing being an investment. Even if I'm not getting tons of views today, that doesn't mean my writing won't be valuable content down the line. Just keep at it!

yes it can be exhausting to focus there - key thing is to express and enjoy

I'm with you man. I think tech, especially, is expanding our reach.
