“We’ve all been trained to believe, that in this age of social media, engagement is king. If you’re not engaging, how will you possibly influence anyone? It’s all meant to be quite personal, isn’t it? A lot of back and forth, with easy access to the author, and everyone free to comment on anything they like. We leveled the playing field and now the fans are on the field pretending they can play.” #Media #IndieWeb #Writing https://politics.davidtoddmccarty.com/2026/08/29/engagement-might-be-the-problem-not-the-solution/
