Would you rather have 100k random followers or the influential Davos crowd? Tim Ferriss asks this thought experiment to underline the importance of the quality and status of your followers instead of just the number of followers.
When it comes to marketing, it's not about the size of the crowd, it's about the influence and status of your followers. That's why it's crucial to strategically choose your target audience as the type of content you put out will attract a certain type of person.

Do not create content with the expectation of immediate success. Focus on creating a high-quality and binge-worthy show for the future.
Pay more attention to the quality of the content rather than just the initial views. If you focus on numbers from the beginning, you may become discouraged and give up. Instead, aim to make each piece of content better than the last. Consistency is key to achieving success.

James Clear doesn't sell habits, but a feeling of self-control. Dana White of UFC doesn't sell fights, he sells "holy shit" moments.
Consumers don't buy features. It's all about the vibe. The feelings. Give people a vibe once, they will check you out a second time. Give them a vibe again and you may have a customer. Give them a consistent vibe over years and you have a fan for life.
So when you are starting, pick the vibe first. It will influence the content more than anything.
