Building Authority Without Chasing Virality
You’ve just posted something brilliant. It flops.
Meanwhile, someone’s dancing with Comic Sans floating across the screen — and they go viral.
Why does it always feel like depth loses to drama?
Most creators wrongly believe they need virality to become a respected name. They take the fast and easy path to becoming an authority in their niche. On the other hand, successful creators focus on building trust, staying consistent, and creating strategic organic content.
Everybody wants their 15s of fame without realizing the great potential is wasted.
The Myth of Virality
The concept of going viral is the best strategy and might be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, lies of our generation. Period.
First of all, it is not natural. If you were a new creator, how would you feel if one day you had to talk in front of 3000 people when your channel only has 20 subscribers? It would be too much, right? By constantly chasing trends, people can’t tell what your brand actually stands for:
- What’s your niche?
- You are not serious.
- You can’t formulate your own analysis and opinions.
Second, it might get you a lot of followers. You can one day go from 100 to 3k subs. However, if you’re a serious creator, you might get new subscribers interested in the trend and not the content you create. You can get the right people to watch your content, but also get a ton of random new uninterested followers.
Who will rapidly forget about you and won’t ever interact with your content as much as you would like.

Authority vs Visibility
These two concepts are often confused in the world of content creation, but they lead to very different outcomes.
Visibility is about Eyeballs on you. It’s about how many people see your content. It’s the reach, impressions, virality — all the surface-level metrics. It is posting a piece of content and getting 100K+ views with thousands of likes and comments. But, do people remember you next week? Probably not.
Visibility is like a flashlight in the dark — bright but temporary.
Authority is about Trust. It is when people trust you deeply in a specific niche.
You consistently talk about one focused thing (e.g., indie game dev, AI writing, digital minimalism). People begin to see you as “the go-to” for that thing. Your content might not always go viral, but it creates impact and loyalty. You solve people’s problems, address their pain points, and position yourself as someone who deeply understands their day-to-day struggles and desires.
You build trust by sharing your expertise consistently with your target audience.
