RE: Game Theory In Reward Based Social Media Platforms
But i don't think most politicians/actors get to their position by speaking generic stuff, simply because in a crowded market you will get 0 attention if you speak generic stuff.
In fact most of these people start out with incredibly specific, often very reactionary content that appeals to a very small but incredibly loyal demographic. The ones that do make it big are able to successfully dilute their content as their following grows, until it becomes very generic.
So just because the whales do it doesn't mean you should.
I disagree. Religions for example are much similar to one another and so the political parties. The difference is that through their generic philosophy they have one single aspect that is niche whether that is reincarnation, paradise or something in between.
Religions are similar today, after thousands of years of existence. That doesn't mean that they were similar when they began. In the ancient world, the question of "what happens after death" was a very important one, and there were so many opinions floating around. So early religions were anything but generic
If you were to start a new religion today, you would definitely have to have something unique. Nobody is going to pay attention to your religion if you regurgitate what the others have been saying for thousands of years.
