@annaleen There are many factors in play, not the least of which is the effectiveness of moderation, which I find to be about two orders of magnitude more accurate and three orders of magnitude quicker. The half-life of an operative is thus vastly lower. Then there's the inability to hack an algorithm to gain visibility. "Influence" here is entirely organic. Because there's no commercial driver for growth here, this is likely to remain the case for quite some time, and I love that.

P.S. So sad to be missing you at Can*Con; come back next year, eh? 😉
