monetizing internet influence is more art than science.
e.g. anyone can charge for posts or launch a subscription.
but power law outcomes don’t come from selling access to attention (this is also cringy to boot). they come from weaving influence into taste, trust, distribution, deal flow, talent, capital, products, equity, & culture.
the commercial layer has to feel like a natural consequence of the worldview instead of a dumb ad unit. most ppl think of influence as simply inventory cuz it is natural for the human mind to operate this way but you should view influence as a compounding cultural asset.
