Can you imagine that?
I know there is a movement nowadays to short form content, video, livestream, and generally small bites content, very easy to chew, dumbed down, which is a way to not say... dumbing down consumers.
There is an opposite movement too, to some extent. Otherwise, why would X now support longer posts, right? 240 characters are not enough, apparently, for enough people.
We have on Hive a few, maybe a couple of people who haven't missed a beat with their daily posts (whether blogs or videos) for a long time. They deserve the credit! It's not easy.
But 25 years? Boy, that's half a life for many around here. Or their entire life for the younger ones.
And yet, there is someone famous in the world who has been blogging daily (sometimes twice a day), for the past 25 years, a milestone he passed a couple of days ago.
More exactly, he passed the milestone of 10,000 posts. He doesn't even know the exact number because it is difficult for him to keep a good tracking for the early ones.
Note that he didn't post 10 times a day to get to that number. Mostly once a day, very rarely twice a day.
I am subscribed to him for many years, and there was a time when I read his post every day. For a while near present days I haven't checked out that particular email I subscribed with, and forgot about the daily bites of wisdom or clarity he shared. Recently, I added that email to the email reader on my phone, and I get them again and started to read them, usually when I go out and I wait for something and have a few minutes of time.
Thinking about the notion of shitposting we have on Hive, I wanted to say he never adds images to his posts (at least I haven't remarked that in all this time, but maybe I don't remember well), although he is known for a book about branding.
I haven't counted the words on his posts, but they are usually relatively short, with some long and some very short. By very short I mean a few sentences. I even think I remember at least one or two posts that only had the title and a few words in it.
Of course, he is a well-known author, and he has something of substance to communicate, even when he does it briefly.
He is the inventor of permissioned marketing, author of exceptional books and entrepreneur. You may have heard of him: Seth Godin.
I haven't added an image to this post on purpose.
