> The amount of influence you have through educational content is truly massive, and can make or break even the largest tech companies.

This is true, but it neglects the "spark" that's required to get some sort of amplification to the content and related downstream benefits. Companies spend money on marketing, events, etc.

For INDIVIDUALS who want the ancillary benefits of educational content, they use tools to create and deploy across multiple channels and also engage with others ("shit post", "reply guy", etc.) that drive attention to their content.

For an individual, driving economic outcomes with educational content (on average) seems like an investment with low probability of success. I suspect that many individuals who create educational content are doing it because they are passionate about the topic, and do not expect any other benefit.

Thanks for posting, something that I'm thinking about a lot in the age of increasing participation in "Tech" and ever-increasing amounts of content while simultaneously divided attention.
