So guys I just discovered the wildest thing so far ๐๐๐
When you repost (simple retweet) someone else's post and your followers see it in their feed... those views count as IMPRESSIONS on YOUR account too!
That's why some accounts barely post original stuff, just repost viral tweets all day, rack up crazy impressions, hit the 5M threshold easily, and still get solid payouts from X monetization (especially if the reposts get likes/reposts/replies from Premium users).
Omoooo mehnnn ๐
When a pack animal is dying it separates itself from the rest of the pack. It becomes selfish, as a survival mechanism. Its brain shuts off any excess energy towards emotional centers and just goes into survival mode
It's the same science behind moms lifting cars off of their kids. Brain diverts 100% energy to muscles
It's the same science behind why people love ice baths. Your body literally thinks it's dying and floods you with "stay alive" chemicals
Humans don't need gunshot wounds to enter fight or flight mode. It can be, and is commonly, acutely activated on a daily basis
And for a lot of people, it is chronically activated, always slowly bleeding into their day to day lives
You cannot be caring, kind, loving, selfless, energetic, full of life etc. if your brain is in acute survival mode
Again, this is why you need to love what you're doing
If you don't, your brain is constantly signaling that something is wrong, which means it is constantly signaling that you need to isolate, focus on yourself, be scarce with your depletion of energy and keep it to yourself
It's why when things are going good you feel more social. The better you feel, the more you have to give
It also goes the other way. If you are giving, it is signaling to your brain an abundant life, that you are living well and have energy, which makes you feel good
Lots of biblical undertones to this as well
This is where the term "you cannot pour from an empty cup" comes from
For the sake of your family, friends, community, the world, you must be doing something you love. You must wake up with energy to continue to push, improve, get better
If you love what you're doing, your brain will give you more energy to put into what you love doing, which lets you do more of it, which makes you love it more
