- sorcerer-mar 1y agoUhh... having a LinkedIn takes like 10 minutes spent once. For most industries it's a pretty obvious investment to make yourself reachable by anyone who might be looking for you and to have an added data point of legitimacy (as in simply "is this a real human being emailing me") Your heuristic is extremely bad.
- codr7 1y agoI use LinkedIn to find jobs; and to troll the self applauding, back patting influencer crowd for fun.
- stavros 1y agoOf course you'd have to pay 700k if you're basically rejecting anyone who's ever been online. The candidate pool is, like, three people.
- mattgreenrocks 1y agoYes. And time is zero sum. So you end up with people who see no issue with sinking lots of time into audience building. I’d rather do the thing than talk about it. Or, frankly, watch/listen/read others.
- famahar 1y agoI read an interesting thread about this in relation to game dev. Development is ugly, so a lot of audience building and investor potential comes from creating visually appealing gameplay demos and mechanics. Often they are made separate from the core of the game. All that time spent making engaging content ends up compromising the development process and turning it into more of a show reel, rather than a fully functioning holistic game.
- dagw 1y agoI’d rather do the thing than talk about it. That is fine if you're doing it for yourself, but rather unhelpful if you hope to make a living out of doing the thing. The people I know who make a living off their art are those who sink a lot of time into selling their art (and themselves). Those who sit and home and just make (often much better) art languish in obscurity.
