Thanks! The idea of just being helpful on the internet is vastly undervalued.

Since this specific tactic is about avoiding competition, it does pretty much always lead to something very niche, very new—either in content or the audience/approach to the content.

Larger topics are often worth going after or necessary for a larger site, but then you have more authority and more resources to do so.
