Write for Algorithms and You Will Be Commodity.
Write for the Audience, and You Will Be Irreplaceable.
Worship algorithms.
Do what growth hackers tell you.
It turns you into a commodity.
Commodity means replaceable.
Nobody cares about your message anymore.
It’s fatal when you don’t have true fans.
But you won't be concerned about it.
Because you see your follower number goes up.
You think you’re doing it right.
But things will get worse when the apocalypse day comes.
One day, algorithms will punish you.
You can’t make money.
You want to jump ship, but…
You can’t sell products because you don’t have true fans.
You can’t grow on other platforms because you haven’t practiced the necessary skills.
All of it leads you to dead ends.
It’s all because you took the easy route in the first place.
Algorithms see you as a number.
Stop worshipping them as gods.
Write for your readers. They’re the real people.
- “Why do they read?”
- “What makes them read?”
- “What makes people feel?”
Study humans, not algorithms.
- Read more.
- Observe more.
- Listen more.
This is how to become an algorithm-proof writer.
When you write for an audience, you will be irreplaceable.
Because you’re reliable.
You solve your audience’s problems.
Make them rich, make them laugh, and make them healthy.
Whatever. Audience over algorithms.
Oh, please, Ron.
It’s so f*cking slow and boring.
I know you want something fast.
Fast and fragile, or slow but steady.
You choose.
