Let’s talk about the 1-9-90 Rule (And how we can break it).

 The "Community Manifesto"

Headline: Let’s talk about the 1-9-90 Rule (And how we can break it).

Let’s prove we can grow together without spending a cent.

Share this with one friend who creates or consumes content, let’s spread the word.

In every digital community, there is a silent majority.

• 1% Create the content.
• 9% Interact and engage.
• 90% Watch and move on. 

There’s no judgment here, we all lurk sometimes.

But I have an invitation for the 9% and an open door for the 90%.

The Goal: Helping creators reach sustainability without a price tag for the audience.

The Mechanics: 

Most platforms have a 'paywall' for creators, not one you pay, but one the platform pays once we reach a certain number of followers or engagement hours.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to buy a 'Masterclass' or donate to a fund to support the creators you love. You just need to use your thumb. When you Like, Comment, and Share, you aren't just being nice, you’re helping that creator hit the 'Monetization Threshold.'

Once we clear that bar, the platform starts paying us, not you. It’s the ultimate win-win. We get to keep making the stuff you like, and it costs you exactly zero dollars or Rupees of your hard-earned money.

So, next time you see something that adds value to your day, don’t just scroll.

Signal the algorithm.

Let’s help each other grow without opening our wallets.

How you can help for FREE:

 

• The Like: Tells the platform this is worth seeing.
• The Comment: Starts a conversation and boosts visibility.
• The Share: Introduces the work to a whole new circle.
• The Follow: Gets us one step closer to that monetization milestone.

 

The "Watch Time" Secret: Even just watching a video to the end (retention) is a massive signal to the platform. It's the easiest way for the "90%" to help without even typing a word.

The Algorithm as a Gatekeeper: Engagement doesn't just help with money; it helps with reach. Every "Like" acts like a vote that tells the algorithm, "Show this to more people like me."

Let’s stop paying for 'secrets' and start supporting the creators we already enjoy. It’s a collective journey. 

Who’s in?

If you made it this far, you’ve already helped my 'Watch Time', thank you!
