Oddbean new post about login | logout i have about 200 followers but what about people who have no followers - how do they get started in your system ? how do they get their first follower if nobody can see their content ?
This is the important question: how does an anon publish anything in a WoT only world?
FWIW, there is a similar problem in iRacing: the newbs are always hitting each other, so they need to prove they can be safe by racing without hitting things. Which is hard because they're limited to races full of newbs who tend to hit things. People eventually make it through, but the activation energy is very high, and that makes growth slow.
