This is great advice, and it goes back way before the internet. There's always been confusion about whether popular and good are even related to each other (maybe, loosely). It just feels a lot worse now that there's so many ways to fail at being popular. :)
Some of the best things I've come across are the ones that don't have many likes or subscribers. I used to wonder why. Then the most drab, boring, copy-paste stuff has a bunch of likes. It's not about value or worth at all. The whole internet has been manipulated by bots and code, and what do those things know about value or worth? Nothing. They try to push what will keep the people mindlessly scrolling, not the pieces that make the reader stop, sit back with tears in their eyes, and really feel it. It's backwards. Bots and code have no soul, only a mission to push the slop which then buries the truly beautiful heartfelt pieces underneath.
Thank you for posting. Your words are wonderful and important and needed. 🌟
