Remember the Bob Dylan rule: it's not just a record, it's a movement.

If you speak up online and your ideas have currency, people are going to show up and want to connect with you. What we need more of are people with the guts and emotional labour to do this. The greatest shortage in today's society is an instinct to produce.

You can game the social media in the short run, but not for long.
