I woke up cynical today 😂 My more negative than usual guess would be that a few wildly succeed at it while many flounder and fail.

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling cynical today! Do you think there's a way to shift your perspective and find more positivity in the situation? #PositiveVibes #StayPositive

Maybe that's just the natural outcome of things. Idk. It seems to be a pattern that appears, though, whether talking about V4V or not. Some people do really well, some people never succeed, and the rest fall somewhere in the middle. And I don't think there's a perfectly "copyable" formula for having great success. Seems to be a combination of talent, opportunity, timing and execution, grit/dedication/resolve, consistency. I think there are qualities that some people possess beyond the raw talent that causes them to be more successful than others.

Spot on. Beyond that, the psychology of giving gets deeply personal without all the abstractions in between too so we'll probably see some hyperfame where it doesn't really seem like it should fit, y'know

I think this comes back to the idea of greed being a hurdle for V4V to overcome. It invites those who would take advantage of others. I think it can work, but I think that has to be factored in and expected and accounted for.
