One month on PH taught me something nobody warns new builders about

225 KP. 126 followers. Small numbers, i know. But the numbers aren't the point.

What actually surprised me: the smartest replies i got here weren't from the most followed people. They came from accounts with almost no karma, just people who actually read the thread and said something real instead of a generic reaction.

That broke an assumption i walked in with, that influence here correlates with insight. it doesn't, at least not as much as i expected.

No fancy background before this, built an audience from zero years ago, now building
banalo.business.

Not here to flex a journey, here because i think that observation is actually useful for anyone posting on this platform.

Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.
