I underestimated social media growth (for the right reasons) for a long time, I’ve always despised people that speak about how ‘big’ or ‘famous’ they are on social media. I’ve always found fame vacuous – especially if you do nothing to help make the world better. I’ve always hated people who flaunt their subscriber/follower numbers like it’s a huge achievement. I always thought if people want to grow on social media they’re nothing but narcissists and they’re addicted to the dopamine responses from ‘likes’ they get until I figured out, although that is true, there’s always a positive side to it too.
The real reason I think almost everyone should grow on social media is that a lot of people have stories to tell.
