The cognitive dissonance is strong here..

MM continually asserts that increasing the supply of content is of grave importance, yet does absolutely nothing to attract new users/content creators

(And attracting new users doesn't require marketing!)

according to Dan only 1% of new users are going to produce interesting content

so the options are to find ways to activate existing users to post more (streaks/rituals/tweet mirroring) or attract new users at a big enough scale to kickstart the content flywheel

maybe MM is just being conservative by treating trying to attract lots of new users as a last resort and trying to make do with the users that we have currently? 

curious what your proposals are for attracting new users that don't require marketing are

an option i forgot to bring up is onboarding creators specifically, which is something you're pushing for right?

as an existing low activity user I don't feel the tradeoff of investing time into posting into the void, even as replies, is worth it anymore
