I think Marc’s post is going to spark a lot of debate. I agree that most of us start with 0 followers. But I don’t think we all start from the same place. Like me: Building a global business from Vietnam is already harder than doing it from the US or Europe. For example, someone in the US can simply create a TikTok account and reach US audiences. Meanwhile, I can get millions of views in Vietnam and barely make any revenue. And trying to reach US audiences comes with the risk of getting shadowbanned. But I also have advantages: lower living costs, cheaper internet, and lower taxes. (But luxury goods and cars cost 3–4x more here 😂) So yes, I still consider myself incredibly lucky, and I’m genuinely grateful for it. We all face different disadvantages, but we also have different advantages.
