Wow, your post was what stimulated me, to finally create an account. Because I thought you deserve to receive more compliment for that piece of writing. At first I thought it was gonna be about, how everything is just some signaling to find some partners. but your idea is something I've never came accros before, and for that, thank you. When you said, "you're not growing much anymore despite putting up content". Have you had ideas on why is it that ? Is it  that you're too "specialised" and can't by default be "mainstream" ? Also, I'd be curious if when you published that piece you thought it was "an orignal thought" or not ? Because I know, it's something that can hold me back, thinking "ohhh it's so obvious what I'm going to say, it would be pretentious to think I'm provinding any value by saying it".
