I have considered that, except new baby brand accounts look sad. But maybe it's less pathetic looking/feeling when you've already got a legit business, as compared to when you're starting from scratch

I mean, my youngest brand account is 2y old, almost 5k, and I’ll be shutting it down with the project. No biggie. Brand accounts are just cost of doing business. Can be grown surprisingly fast.

Split them, seriously. You won't enjoy the constraints on the shitposting account, twitter will turn into a chore, and then you'll stop doing it. Death spiral. What you could do is save your full name for the pro account, and re-handle main to be fun. It's already pig latin.

yeah I catch whiffs of death spiral every time I even think about thinking about ~optimizing~ this one. ugh. happily not a big deal to have my name in more than one place/on shitposts, probably no longer conventionally employable anyways

this is one reason I don't use my name to brand my projects... if I'd started a biz like yours I'd have called it something not-my-name, like slightly evil life coaching tiago is an example of doing the integrated thing well, but you can see the cost he pays in discipline

Does that really work as a positive brand positioning or is it just an association, with no clear effects? I can imagine it turning off some for whom it feels a bit cringe to unironically identify with 'smart' and possibly attracting an unwanted clueless "I am smart" type

people who come in the door realize it's not completely unironic, they know from my shitposting that it's bit tongue in cheek and very compressed for "coaching, but not THAT coaching" (I realize I don't know about the ones who don't come in the door )

that's your marketing shtick then... the gap between the unironic and ironic sense of 'smart' is rich with shitposting material... snide "you know you're smart when ... <stupid behavior>"
