My school used to have 600 people. 1000 is a huge crowd and it can easily be many times more than that. If it was like 300 years ago, then how would you even get 100 people to hear what you have to say?

Imagine walking onto a stage, in front of a thousand people, and just saying a random thing in the microphone, that you just thought of while stoned and then simply leaving. Alternatively, you could stay by the door and start arguing with the audience members as they’re leaving like I’m now probably going to do.

    Helps to keep in mind Pareto distributions. You usually have to calculate them for individual social media systems, but a common rule of thumb on reddit was between 100-1000 between steps.

    If 1 person commented, 10-100 people may have upvoted, and 1000-10000 may have clicked and not engaged further.

    For every one post, there are 10-100 commenters, 100-1000 upvoters, and 1000-100k+ viewers.
