building for the top 1% of creators is a trap. if your platform only works for MrBeast and Taylor Swift, you've built a fancy tool for people who already have everything they need. the real test is whether someone with 50k followers can actually make rent. that's your baseline user. get the middle class right and scale happens naturally. chase the elites and you end up with a cool case study that doesn't help the 43M creators actually trying to build something.
