questioned about why OSF’s not thimbletoe’ing our a%%es all around social media parading and marqueeing dozens of social media pages [of partially, and mostly bought numbers] to prove we’re a happening site (which we are and can prove it). Although I do (separate from OSF brand name, am active/have social media accounts) OSF just doesn’t brand and play on Twitter/social media under the OSF brand name).
You’ll have a Twitter branded site bragging 500k-2 million followers and what’s really going on, on site aint even .00000001 % worth bragging of 500k-2 million followers.
I [felt that] what good is parading around nearly $1million Twitter followers on a niche site if they are not even engaged there for at least 10 minutes?
Ten minutes is decent. Twenty minutes is phenomenal.
All that said, most of what you THINK is 
“happening” (where you’re playing) is only “happening” where the play is. Period.
We “play” on OSF-which is where the happening is. Where our true readers are engaged and really like to read. So because of that, we have to continue to respect that-there, where they are.
“Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists” [like being better off having] “one quarter over twenty five pennies.”
You put out real, (over fluff and fakeness) you get real back. Real recognizes real and they know when they are really being respected with real things (even if being entertained and while eating, or getting enlightened).
It is what it is, so you put the focus on respecting that and your TRUE audience feels respected behind all the hoopla and camouflage…because they’re smart and have already investigated and therefore are sold (or engaged).
That said, the respect on the continuum is for them-where they are. It’s just the name of the game-be it Tidal, you, or whatever it is you do. It’s ‘success,’ nonetheless.
