Q think everyone should do it. You know, I hear often from people who don't write on the internet or who don't, who don't have a conscious effort of creating an audience. I asked them like, Hey, why are you not writing on Twitter? And they, they say, I don't want to be cringe. I feel like there's this growing cringiness. Vibe that's going around that's holding people back from participating.
A If someone thinks that they're thinking they're far more important and that people are paying way more attention to them than they actually are. And so it's, I don't want to be cringed behind that has this assumption that when I put something out, everyone that I know is going to read it. They're going to study every word of it. They're going to judge me. But the truth is most people are way, way, way too Caught up in themselves. And so the only reason someone would be quote unquote scared to be cringe if that is, if they're sitting on the other side, not writing and just judging everyone that they see. Right. So it's, I'm worried. I'm going to look cringe because I'm sitting here reading all these people and I'm like, oh, that's cringe. That's cringe. But at the end of the day, they're putting themselves out there. They're unlocking opportunities and you're the one paying with your attention by reading it.

Q that are writing, you know, the, you know, Twitter is a top university, you know, the top, you know, these threads that we always see that are basically repurposed time and time again, when you see those threads, like, what do you think? You know, as professionals, do you, are you like, wow, they're just playing the game or are you like, I think they should be playing another game.
A I think it's a way of playing the game. Is that the optimal way? Depends what game you're playing. If their goal is to play the dopamine slot machine that we've all played and we all do with Twitter and write a thread that gets 50,000 likes, but every person who reads it has no interest in following you along as a reader. Sure. Right. If you only write threads about Google docs and, you know, Chrome extensions, you're not building any kind of personal relationship, but it's okay if you choose to play that game. You can do it successfully. You're going to get a lot of followers. Now, if the goal of the game is maximum number of followers, sure. But I don't think that's a very smart goal to have for the game, right? Because if you have 200,000 followers and you've never sold anything, what is that going to do? And none of them, they all followed you one time for one thing. And then the next thing you write, they're like, I've known, why did I follow this person again? They don't remember anything you wrote from a personal perspective. Versus when you're telling your stories or providing educational content, right? Look, I've written threads on Google docs and on Ted talks and on YouTube videos, and they've worked, but it's all about, you don't build your entire life around that. But again, I, I don't think it's, it's not worth spending time, like judging the people playing that g…
