New post! To make a living as a creator, you only need 100 true fans, not 1,000. As social evolves from a "bigger is better" ad-driven model to niche communities with direct user payment, the playbook for how creators succeed also changes. Thread 👇 a16z.com/2020/02/06/100

In fact, the 1000 true fans model was *never* correct and doesn’t describe any period in internet history. It was a flawed idea at conception. Very few made it work. The 10,000*10 (book) and $100,000*1 (ads) were more common. The 100-150 model has a shot at being correct.
