visa @visakanv.com · 30/05/2026Imo the essential thing is that you have to have a vision for yourself, your body of work, your audience etc that’s beyond short-term incentives. if you just respond to the incentives you’ll become annoying. You gotta want better for yourself and your people. This takes ~discipline + ~principles 160
visa @visakanv.com · 30/05/2026I think so! Probably main thing i’d add would be to be more deliberate about building 1-1 relationships with people beyond the platforms- dm, get people’s contact info, email, etc, because the algorithms seem to keep nudging people towards For You timelines rather than Following 080

Reposted by visaJohn Stokvis @johnstokvis.com · 18/04/2026@visakanv.com‘s description of good work having “an idea in the car” echoes the feeling of reading a lot of AI writing. The human impulse towards efficiency strips all the dynamic life from the writing. Lots of interesting parallels between the photocopier and LLMs as well, prob not a coincidence. 151
