And what kind of success do you think those younger people on social media have? Can you give an example of what you look at? Is that success something you want

- k__ 6y agoDon't know really. They got thousands of followers, people actually engage with them, their opinions are valued, etc.
- vmception 6y agoAh yeah opinions being valued is a good one I dabbled in thought leadership for a while, with a PR agent, and its nice to have a voice and really awesome google results but I didn’t/don't like being considered like a journalist on rare occasion In unrelated anonymous profiles (lifestyle/wealth/meme/model pages) I have used followers and engagement as currency. As in used to obtain goods and services. Its great because you never spend it and it works worldwide. But I prefer just having access to experiences without undermining my ability to obtain goods and services, food and shelter in the future. I mostly have that, and there is very little limitations I will consider in achieving that. It sounds like you have that.
- neilalexander 6y agoThe "success" that you see on social media is probably exaggerated at any rate.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoIt's not necessarily even exaggeration as much as selection bias. If you have enough "friends" on social media, statistically every other day one of them will post something they're proud/happy about, making your feed a constant stream of other people's "success". But the brain is having a hard time dividing these streams by the number of people in your feed; it feels as if it was a small group of people who have it all.
