Daniel Collins Design

Problem is most people don’t understand how content works. They see big creators being controversial and getting tons of views, thinking that’s the path to success. But views ≠ credibility. Credibility comes from doing good work for an extended period. That path is long so people take shortcuts. Those shortcuts aren’t sustainable they hurt your reputation long-term. Imo we need more good examples in our community real leaders doing quality work. Problem is, these leaders aren’t usually the loudest. They’re not flexing their income/house/cars or being controversial online. So people think ‘oh this person must not be successful’ because they’re not screaming about their wins. The best leaders in our space are often the quietest. New designers follow the wrong examples because the right examples don’t make noise… :(
