Why does Twitter maintain such a strong grip on those who produce things with their minds for a living?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this one. If any of you caught a recent DailyVee you know that I was a guest on the incredible YouTube channel, 'What's Inside.' If you don't know, they're a father and son duo who created a YouTube channel solely based on a science project they wanted to film one day. Not only have they grown that channel to more than 4 million subscribers but they are genuinely the greatest two people, incredibly smart, and I cannot wait to see what they do down the road. Unfortunately I can't say that my book 'Crush It!' influenced them directly but they are the absolute case study for what's possible in today's day and age. Would love to know what you guys think about this one !!

QOTD (not really a question): Take a screenshot of the home screen on your phone right now and tweet it at me, @garyvee. I want to see the apps that dominate your day.

How to ask a question: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/what-y...

How have I had two long format web shows in a world where things should be kept short? It's quite simple really. The thing is, when it comes to content, quality trumps everything. Back in the day, companies like Yahoo would fly me out to their headquarters to try and help then figure out their long format shows. Why was WineLibraryTV doing so well? The real answer was easy: quality is quality is quality. If I can put out a fifteen or thirty minute show and captive an audience, then it has a chance of doing well. If I can't, then it won't. It's not complicated. There are plenty of shit fourteen second videos. There are plenty of "never get off the ground" one minute shows. You'll watch a three hour movie cause it's good, but you will not watch a fifteen second commercial because it's crap.

The length is not the variable in determining the quality. Neither is the sound or lighting or production. It is the message, the message, the message. 

But of course having DRock around has made stuff much better. :)

#QOTD: I need your fantasy baseball sleeper. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, give me your technology app sleeper. Don't use Meerkat.

I have always had the ability to come home after a long day and leave it all behind for my family. My dad did not have that ability, and maybe that's why it affected me. I am so grateful and so thankful to my family members, especially my wife, who allow me the freedom to hustle the way I do. I feel like it's totally inappropriate to disrespect that love, to then carry over my headaches home.

There have been a good amount of people who have said to me how much they admire that I never take my headaches out on them. At the end of the day, there are really two people: people that need somebody else to dump their headaches on, and people that collect the headaches of others. I admire my mom tremendously for that. She collects everybody's headaches. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garyvee/message

To get a lot of followers on Twitter, do you need to follow a lot of other Tweeps? And if not, why not?
