I want more followers but I won’t beg. I want more influence but I won’t sell my soul to promoters. So I quietly plug along hoping to at least be a little interesting. The algorithm doesn’t love me. But I’m confident that it doesn’t love you either. Likes and clicks are no match for real friends. Followers usually become friends with me, and then I have an emotional investment, and then I start ignoring the algorithm because I end up liking the person on the other side.
Influence is trickier. I want this blog to matter. I want this blog to make a difference. I want people to read this and decide to be smarter or funnier or more magical. But this blog is ultimately a testimony and my testimony is not for sale. It is a free gift to you because I firmly believe that money pollutes a man’s witness. If I can convince you of that then my time has been well spent.
