I hear this all the time but I struggle to see how it is true. How many people regularly trawl through their feed looking for creators who haven’t posted in X days and unfollowing them? It would be a minuscule number. I’m pretty darn selective with my follows and I think I’d do this once a year, tops.

I think creators are conflating the everyday ups and downs of follower counts on their platform(s) as being something more. And I think the platforms themselves are encouraging this mentality because they need fresh content.

Your solution to someone complaining that the boss is earning too much is to suggest they pay the other workers less (or not at all)?

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cows.”

Certainly not news.com.au, the right wing Murdoch rag.
