The excerpt is a short dialogue between two speakers discussing creator growth — contrasting attempts to go viral versus creating deeply thought-through work, and balancing audience growth with personal integrity. Metadata includes a thumbnail URL and the YOUTUBE content type.
I don't think I've ever seen anything from you where you try to go viral. If you're gonna write something, it's going to be something that you've deeply thought through. And I think that's the reason you have an audience. And to your point, that type of audience is way more valuable.
That's the bet. And thank you for saying that, 'cause there's been a lot of things that I think I've done that have been out of touch with my own sense of integrity in order to grow my audience. At the same time, I think that there's been a lot of things that I haven't done because I've wanted to have a sense of integrity. And I think that that's the process of growth as a creator.
