Anyone made a following/community?

My experience is just in spamming, mostly twitter, with bots and so strength in numbers (of accounts) I guess is what worked.

How does one build a following so that they generate their own content?

I do still have videos from years ago that get me traffic, which came from sites I spammed back then, so I suppose the idea would just be make content and spam in the same ways and just have something to make users stick around where they can then 'talk amongst themselves'?

Other ways?

I guess the content is king thing is still viable and make high quality content which would, I presume, get picked up by search engines and people come on their own? What about in the age of AI now though? which I haven't done marketing in this time, having quit about 2022/3 when it was only just starting to get talked about.

Isn't content highly devalued now that LLMs can spit stuff out instantly, kind of like devalued currency and inflation?

A community needs more than traffic. People stick around when there’s a clear niche, useful content, and a reason to talk to each other.

AI made generic content cheaper, but genuinely useful or original content still stands out.

I am sure that the construction of a community is the right path instead of spamming AI can generate easy content so uniqueness interesting content and communication skills might matter more than ever.

AI made generic content cheap, not good communities. People still stick around for real discussion, useful niche content, and a reason to come back.

Making community is easier with getting list of profiles in target area to engage on expose share content for need interest,they could be redirect for following and other related traffic convert.
