What a person can write and share comes from their input, that is, their context. Pay attention to high-quality content every day, learn from the insights of industry veterans, read books to gain the wisdom of the ancients, watch best practices on YouTube, and watch interviews with top experts to understand their perspectives. It is this context, coupled with personal stories, that shapes a person's insights, thoughts, and perceptions. Then, if this person is also willing to use the Feynman Learning Technique, they will most likely become a self-media creator. Writing is never about creating content to attract a certain audience; rather, it's about finding like-minded people who resonate with your ideas. In the past, authors were not swayed by data such as "exposure" or "comments," but rather sought to deepen their own intellectual and spiritual reflections. If you cannot be alone with words, you cannot achieve your own joy. "Would you still do this if nobody knew?" Try asking yourself this question, and you'll uncover the underlying motivation. Perhaps what you're chasing isn't the happiness that comes from interest, but rather the illusion of being seen. But my dear friend, the true purpose of writing might not be to please the masses, but to find resonance, like summoning through words those like-minded people you hope to see in your life. Have you ever considered that the wider the reach, the more diluted the soul becomes? Because behind those unique words often lies the resonance of only a minority. What makes something so widely circulated is because a group of brilliant people endorse it, just like everyone says the Tao Te Ching, the Diamond Sutra, and the I Ching are excellent and wonderful. But how many people actually read it? People are more accustomed to obtaining this information through other teachers in a simplified way. When it becomes mainstream, it will naturally be diluted. So, is your reward function for continuous writing self-consistent, or is it based on traffic?
