Key Takeaways
Utilize 'mob marketing' by taking polarizing stances to build a dedicated audience, as people are often more attracted to individuals who live by a strict internal code than those who seek general approval.
Anticipate future trends by identifying 'pendulum swings' in culture; when the status quo moves too far in one direction (e.g., corporate sensitivity), there is massive opportunity in building products for the counterculture (e.g., 'Total Man' lifestyle).
In high-growth industries like OnlyFans, the most scalable profits often lie in the 'ancillary' services like management agencies and overseas chatting farms rather than direct content creation.
