Whispering here...even literary agents who tell you that you are doing it all wrong. Look them up on Publishers Marketplace. The loudest ones have few sales under their belts. The ones who are quiet are busy selling books.
You hit a hot button here. The pseudo expert. The person who wants to teach you how to podcast and has 600 podcast followers. The one who wants to teach you to be a social media influencer and has 100 followers.
I've learned two things the hard way. 1. always check credentials.
And 2. when they spout "studies" look them up before you buy into the scam on skincare, leaky gut, age spots ...and on and on.
My latest hot button is Chair Tai Chi and those who THINK Chat is a creative genius.
It is a strange phenomenon! I wonder if those sorts of 'expertise' and 'you don't know xyz' titles work because lots of people are *so happy* to subjugate their own knowledge to tech/higher power/whatever it may be. Even if people know something, they ask ChatGPT. If that's what lots of audiences are like, no wonder people like to presume expertise and enforce it so severely - because many will throw their own knowledge out the window and follow them and that is intoxicating to some.
Literally obsessed w u

I must stop now; I feel my blood pressure rising.
