" Behind the Big Followers: Appreciating the Small Creations Often Forgotten "
We often see accounts with thousands, even millions of followers, but there's something that is often forgotten behind those numbers: how they treat the smaller accounts around them.
In this digital world, there are many ways to gain popularity. One of them is by exploiting the work of others. It's not uncommon for bigger accounts to take ideas, even original content, from smaller accounts, all for the sake of personal gain—whether it's likes, followers, or rewards.
This is not just about sharing or collaborating. It's about respecting. Respecting original work, respecting effort, and respecting each individual's right to what they create. Many of us think that the more followers we have, the bigger our influence, but let's not forget that true influence comes from how we treat others, not from how much we gain.
Have you ever felt your work was only valued because there was something in it for others? Or worse, perhaps your work was taken without your knowledge? This is the reality many smaller accounts face—they often become tools for others' gain, without any respect.
But let's remind ourselves—respecting the work of others reflects who we truly are. Followers and rewards are not the ultimate goal; how we grow and support each other is what matters most. This digital world can be better if we start supporting each other instead of bringing each other down.
So, let's commit to appreciating original work more and collaborating with respect. Because in the end, the respect and trust we build are far more valuable than the numbers on a screen.
