Pyramid

The Hypothetical Attention Pyramid Scheme

I loved the idea of Substack as a replacement for a few minutes, or maybe a few hours. I loved the notion of a writing community for people to share ideas, and written words. I lost passion when I saw that it was an attention pyramid scheme.

What is the Attention Pyramid Scheme

It’s an idea I came up with yesterday. It’s the notion that we create content on Substack, so that others notice us. We then follow others, and give them our attention in the hope that reciprocate it to us. The more time you invest, and the more you comment, and like, the more your own writing is visible.
