I'm writing a small collection of @paragraph articles inspired by two really important blog posts from an Internet OG.
1. 1000 True Fans: https://kk.org/thetechnium/1000-true-fans/
2. !1000 True Fans: https://kk.org/thetechnium/the-case-agains/
Sharing a glimpse below and welcome any members of /network-states /founders /base /design /dev /fbi /neynar /paragraph /evmavericks /ethfinance (or other channels) to offer public or private feedback.
Wanna make sure what I'm dropping slaps.

š„ Youāve Been Paying Rent on Your Own Audience.
What if I told you that in 2026, the *fans* hold the keys, not the gatekeepers? Today, 1000 True Fans are more powerful than ever.
āļø Welcome to the āRent-Freeā Revolution.
Fan relationships are the new scarcity, not distribution. Platforms built empires on creator sweat equityānow the tables are turning.
šµļø Stop Renting, Start Owning.
The secret contracts you āacceptā are why you work for the algorithm, not the other way around. Next year? Weāll be rewriting the fine print.
š„ Sharecroppers of the Algorithm.
If hustling *harder* just lines someone elseās pockets, youāre not building equityāyouāre harvesting likes for free.
š§ Your Content Is Their AIās BraināAnd Youāre Not on Payroll.
Every upload is training the robots. Spoiler: Itās lining their pockets, not yours. Time to rebalance the equation.
š¦¾ Stripe Cannibalizes Itself.
When even the middlemen are racing to cut themselves out. You want smaller fees? They do, tooābefore you do it without them.
ā”ļø Four Superpowers Most Creators Donāt Know They Have (Yet).
Distribution. IP. Token economics. Hyperfan communities. Why play in someone elseās sandbox when you can design your own game?
š From āForever Yoursā to āFor This Purpose.ā
One click shouldnāt give away your soul (and your AI training rights) forever. Permission gets granularāand programmable.
š§® 1000 True Fans, Three Price Tags, Infinite Optionality.
All your bangers now slap that much louder when you make your own rules on your own rails. Social economies are now viable and vibrant.
š¤ From Party Guest to Host.
Stop hoping for an invite. Build your own houseāand set your own cover charge. Bad vibes? Find new tribes on your same wavelength.
š¾ Experiment, Die, Respawn.
Permissionless curiosity is the new compounding edge. Every failed launch is a save point, not a Game Over. Power up. Level up. Lever up.
š¦ Donāt Wait for PermissionāDesign the World You Want.
If platforms, VCs, or ads dictate your upside, youāre living in someone elseās timeline. Focus on creating value, not extracting it.
