“ I’ve heard this story again and again from those who’ve risen into the lower ranks of microfame. At a few hundred or a few thousand followers, they’re having fun — but any bigger and it falls apart. Social media stops being social. It’s no longer a bantering process of thinking and living out loud. It becomes old-fashioned broadcasting. The lesson? There’s value in obscurity.

I read somewhere years ago that birdsong is really just a way for the bird to say, “bird here!” and all the music is just lagniappe, which can be extrapolated in humans to “Mozart here!” or “Leadbelly here!” or “Britney Spears here!”
