RE: Why 1000+ followers means nothing?

in #illustration7 years ago

Creating projects is a good point. Do you think that numbers also present the illusion of success? I was told that there is the theory to collaborate with those within your social status. Meaning if you have 1000 followers someone on with 20 followers is in a different league. This culture seems to rule the social media outlet. Steemit would therefor be in the same arena. Or am I not understanding the model enough yet. Thanks for the post.

Yes, this is like a famous brand name. For example if I put the Microsoft logo on my illustration then most of the people who are not in arts will just say "Wow!" even if I will create weakest work in my life. So for that reason numbers works. And for Behance I guess follower numbers may mean a lot to the clients when they are searching for an exectuor of their idea.

For me personally it was never some barrier. If I saw someone's good profile with small amount of followers and likes I've understood that this person is just created the profile or don't know how to develop it and I am trying to help such a people usually giving some advices on that because the world should know them.
