I've had a few interesting exchanges on Notes, and that's great. But it seems to be way more about the popular folks sitting around patting each other on the back, and the not so popular tapping the door in the hope to be noticed.
And there you have it, as you said Corey. The inner circle expands but it's less about the person's work that yields the mutual support, and more about the social personality that one can display.
That's my take anyway. Same dynamic as writers on Twitter.
I can't vouch for Twitter. My only other social media experience is a brief stint on LinkedIn, which I think works very similar to Notes. The more you engage with others the more your notes will circulate, and the more chance you have of reaching more people. Notes seem more limited, though. I know it's a nook compared to other platforms, but to see the same ten people at the top of my feed whenever I go on is irksome. Like you said, it is a game, like any other social platform. If you really want to expand your audience using Notes and the like, you must talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to and pretend they're as awesome as they think they are.
I restack posts sometimes, mine and others, and then always wonder what I was thinking because I know nobody saw it. I don't have the time right now to spend three hours patting backs just to get some views, nor do I care to.
