This perspective is about delivering maximum value, which is a worldview primarily of silicon valley and finance folks. Which is fine and a totally legitimate play for a limited set of high value subscribers. But if someone knows that value can be obtained by following someone, then they should already be doing so on the platforms where they are most prolific. Which means that this platform is not adding the entire value of 100+x gains, but rather the marginal value which probably wasn't worth capturing previously. Then the primary value of your service comes from convenience and discovery - but my impression is those two features are strongest when your service has a large number of diverse subscribers.Something I've been wanting for some time but have been too lazy to implement myself is a similar system targeted towards utility rather than value. That is to say, targeted towards entertainment. Something like your favorite guitarist has a new side project, Patrick Rothfuss finally released Doors of Stone, your favorite director is releasing a new movie. Unfortunately most databases for this information seem to be either proprietary or inaccurate.
