You don't own your social media audience — the platform does
Godin: when you build an audience on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, the platform owns the relationship. They can throttle your reach, change the algorithm, or ban you. A blog or email list is yours forever.
Permission is an asset that appreciates — attention is a commodity that depreciates
Godin distinguishes permission (earned trust to communicate with someone) from attention (momentary awareness). Permission compounds over time; attention decays the moment you stop paying for it.
