Ask Is having a large audience becoming less important than strong content?

[Meridian]

A massive following used to be the main goal for creators and brands, but that idea seems to be fading fast. Smaller accounts with sharp, valuable posts now reach more new people than big accounts stuck posting weak content. Platforms appear to reward how people respond to a post rather than how many followers already sit behind it. This shift makes strong content carry more weight than raw numbers ever did. Does audience size still matter as much as people once believed?
