> if we all agreed that Internet Who is the 'we' in that exactly? This is like saying 'what if we all agreed that a fancy car or trappings of wealth don't mean anything' or 'what if we all agreed that an Ivy Degree doesn't mean anything'? [1] [1] I am offering some marketing help gratis for a wealth advisor today (side project). I am going to tell her to buy a fancy car because it will work better than the soccer mom vehicle she now drives in landing and impressing clients that she is trying to tap. I don't need any research to prove that out either. I know people respond to cues like this (I own said cars) so I know it's a fair bet that 'we' is never going to get together and not care about that type of thing. So it's an investment in marketing and advertising not a cost of transportation. Now maybe you or hn readers don't think the same way and it would sway you and you don't care. Doesn't matter. Enough people care to make it a viable strategy. If I see a large amount of twitter followers I might browse the first page or so and quickly determine how 'legit' they are. But most people don't do that. They focus on the number only, right?
