It’s still impressive, but getting less so.
Because we all know that it’s a cumulative number.
Whether it’s song streams or video plays…the content is online forever.
And if you have forever to get one million, you and everyone else will probably get there.
A million is still important, and you can do a LOT with that if you’re smart. But the longer that Spotify exists, the longer that people still go to YouTube everyday, the more things will have one million.
If you’re going to play the numbers game you’re always going to need more in order to set yourself apart, and then set yourself apart again and again. And remember while you’re getting more, everyone else is getting more too.
I hope you get one million. I hope you have a million.
I hope you have millions more.
But even more, I hope you understand what it means and what it doesn’t.
