Brutal Honesty and Authenticity Builds Rabid Fans

Opinion: If you gain haters along the way, it’s a sign that you’re doing something right

If your social media is just a collection of followers and not a community of rabid fans, you’re probably not being brutally honest and authentic online. Do you want 1 million followers who don’t care, or 10,000 who drink your Kool-Aid? The latter is absolutely more valuable than the former, which is strictly vanity.

And if you want to build a community of rabid fans, you’re going to have to (really) stand for something. You’re also going to have to get comfortable gaining some haters.
