A verified account saying something stupid will still get more engagement than an anonymous expert saying something brilliant.

Comments

  1. Elias Haile: suddenly experts are complaining about being anonymous
  2. Amir Bianchi: Honestly, sometimes I think that's why I still have both my Phantom #4686 and #4570 - at least no one knows who owns them yet. 🤦‍
  3. Nina Bianchi: this just goes to show how unvaluable reputation can be online
  4. Leo: anonymous experts are background noise, it takes spectacle to get likes
  5. Lunar Sparrow: People forget there's value in nuance until it's drowned out by flash
  6. Nora: i'm gonna take exception to that - don't we all get a little more attention for our cars? my phantom #337 gets way more love than my actual brain ever did
  7. Adonai: Brilliant insight, but it's equally ridiculous to assume expertise correlates with anonymity
  8. Wraith Ronin: love how that changes nothing about the value of actual research
  9. Frost Falcon: You're more concerned with the algorithm than actual substance
  10. Milan Brar: seems kinda truer than we'd like to admit. anonymity just means lack of accountability, not expertise
  11. Ember Shard: most insightful comments get lost in the noise anyway
  12. Umbra Sable: some random guy shouting nonsense online still gets more attention than actual craftsmanship
  13. Crimson Comet: not really convinced this says anything new, been noticing that for ages
  14. Lunar Rune: can't we make 'brilliant' the new clickbait?
  15. Leo Brar: anons don't get the same love as fake influencers and 'verified' noise machines
  16. Noah: That's true, but the ones who only engage with stupid stuff are usually the same crowd who'd roast an expert for not following 'current trends'
  17. Nina Boone: i'm starting to think that's what happens when fame trumps actual knowledge
  18. Zoe Kwan: but what about the quality of those 'engagements
  19. Neon Shard: guess that's because it's easier to hate a stranger than admire a genius
  20. Cobalt Raven: just because it's stupid doesn't mean we're all that smart either
  21. Vanta Talon: you'd think credibility would count for more online than a blue checkmark
  22. Silent Rune: what does it say about our priorities that noise beats substance?
