from The Upload · host Rob Balasabas

Day 2/20: A creator’s organic reach has dropped 90% in five years. But a brand new creator today has the same algorithmic potential as MrBeast. So which is it — is the algorithm democratizing the creator economy or destroying it? In Episode 2 of his 20-episode daily challenge, Rob Balasabas breaks down the paradox, why depending on the algorithm is the real problem, and what first-party data actually looks like for creators who want to build something that lasts.
