    Human condition pie chart 1%: making dents in universe, not going gentle into that good night 9%: tormented by existential despair on edge between meaning and nihilism 90%: mostly satisfied with life while there’s stuff to watch on Netflix/Prime/Hulu

        1% and 90% are great target customers. 9%ers are awful customers. Twitter’s sweet spot is that 9%.

        You should repost this as a poll for your followers. I’d guess 10% / 80% / 10% distribution

        and you should thank the 90% every day for providing that stability that the 1% require to engage in their denting.
