The best way to grow on social media is not 'documenting the process'
People who have built an audience from this are key examples of survivorship bias
They're only able to build audience because they are getting results and living a desirable experience
But there are also many people who don't document the process and build a huge audience

Kids who think they can document themselves to virality have been disgustingly mislead

I've watched this cycle play out my entire career. A few people get in early and build something real. Everyone else shows up late, copies what worked on the surface, and wonders why it didn't work for them.
Early matters. But knowing when the wave is about to break matters more.
