A large audience often doesn't care who you are, just what you make. A million followers might not know your name, while 5,000 to 100,000 engaged viewers ask about your next video and your life. The choice is between fast growth and real connection.
I don't think the audience ever cared about me.
Okay.
They cared about the entertainment. They cared about the content. And so when you're doing something, hey, I have a book, hey, I have a course, hey, I have a product.
They're like, whatever, get that out of my way. I'm just here for this.
Yeah, I'm here for the show. That's an important thing to be mindful. Like, I have this egotistical vanity number of a million subscribers, which some like me, some probably don't know who I am even. They're just like, oh yeah, I like this, this version of content of the entertainment part. I do think there's something appealing about maybe not as fast of growth, but the quality of growth. Where instead of a million subscribers, you have 10,000 or 100,000 or 5,000 and they're like, when's your next video coming out, Noah? And I wanna like, how's your wife doing? Or they have an intimate more connection with who you actually are.
