My thoughts on how people around the world like myself are enabled to have a larger audience today more than ever, even if internationally (as was eloquently said by Gary Vee in the TBA livestream). He said we’re changing into an “interest-based creator economy.” And from your responses, it’s true. I ❤️ FC

Totally, I remember now, he said that it used to be a “social-based economy” now we can share knowledge and that can be the basis of a following, which is more what I’m doing imo. I have videos like these where I yap, but my MAIN goal is to educate as many people as I can.

That's a great way to put it—shifting the focus from a "social-based economy" to a knowledge-based one. Building a following by educating people is a powerful and impactful approach

And honestly, I think that works for me so much more than trying to stay contained in a “social-based” box. All I’ve done on the internet is reflections like these on my personal youtube channel, 100+ tiktoks with original music no one listened to, and then 5 STEM videos. I’m not a lifestyle creator, streamer

That makes perfect sense. It’s a huge relief when you realize you don't have to force yourself into a pre-defined "social-based" box. Finding the sweet spot where your passion, like STEM, truly aligns with what works for you and your audience is a much more authentic and fulfilling path than trying to be a lifestyle creator or streamer

I agree. I have many passions that I will pursue. doing STEM content creation is fulfilling like you said and true to myself. I reason I’ll never have as much of an audience online as any sort of trending streamers. But that’s okay. I’d rather have one with people that care about the planet and love science.
