Man it's appreciated but not necessary, though sure, I'll keep it. Thanks!
Been spending a bit a time quietly browsing things I missed while being away. I see you had yourself an episode of dealing with people not able to see a difference between content creators and content consumers.
I've been there, plenty of times. Using the word 'consumer' at times around here is like speaking an unknown language.
My pleasure. :)
And yeah, you've summed it up well. I used the word 'consumer' 13 times in a post ('creator' was used once) and 90+% of the commenters wrote back to me about content-creators. I used the words 'example/approach' 8 times, and a chunk of commenters acted as if I was a dictator enforcing rule upon them under pain-of-death, rather than a dude writing a blog post.
The reading comprehension and attention-span was surreal, lol.
But... it is what it is, and you clearly get it, being the biggest proponent of consumer onboarding I've found here so far.
#preach lol. 🙏
Out of curiosity (since I was gone then come back and suddenly, once again, find myself in this loop talking about something 'consumer' related here) I asked Asher to pull up some data. "How many times have I talked about consumers..."
So yeah, I've heard and seen it all. That's all time, everyone, from both chains, over five years.
This is amazing and insightful, man. 432 times. That is an epic focus on consumers. Huge respect. Hopefully more and more people are picking up on what you're puttin' down. :)
And I guess 40 mentions of it in my first 3 months here is... at least reasonable? Lol. 🙏
(P.S. Is 'Asher' the same person as @abh12345 ?)
Yeah that's the ash man.
🙏
