That sounds like a very good plan! It's safe to say my online circle is not huge - if I has 100 followers I'm confident I could freak half of them out and reduce it to 50 :)
Every once in a while I've had things fall into place online - Blogger around 2012, Steemit in 2016, Wordpress in 2018 (when I had 4 million hits in one year), and I keep hoping the next good one is lurking around the corner.
I've always hated Twitter but set up an account called X to suss it out in 2019 - that name and logo was a lucky guess...
Well now we know where Musk got the logo 😆
I guess I’m lucky to have moved around during the most social time of my life so I have many contacts, but even now I think social media works best as a phone book to stay in touch with people I meet IRL. I guess hive, Wordpress and YouTube are a little different. But relying on algorithms always feel like a waste of time to me, even more after trying to work with them. It works if you have one single focus and understand the thought process of the most simple people (who the algorithms cater to) which i don’t.
