"There’s only two things that will improve your situation:

1. Concentrate on your users, audience, customers, fans. Figure out what they want. Develop a deep connection with them.

2. Improve your skill, expertise, competence, product. How can you get better? How can you make your product better for the people who use it?"

There is also a responsibility for well-informed people to encourage and join initiatives that are 'good' and interesting. This is the way ethical and useful initiatives can be promoted and can 'win' in the marketplace of ideas.
