I agree with all of that. I'm trying to put a lot of recruitment effort into the people I think would be good with this alpha phase too. Scaling requires user growth so I figured those are the type to target for the time being.

I actually think it's a little premature to try recruiting (I don't know how else to out it but...) low-level content creators who barely make anything off their work in traditional spaces because the audience just doesn't exist here yet. I believe it's more disheartening to put yourself out there & not be seen than it is to be ridiculed.
