Counter-Narcissist Intelligence Growth
Story of the Substack/Twitter dynamic & BONUS for subscribers.
Very pleased to share our steady growth and send another big thank you to all the supporters of CNI. We have gone from 23 states and 10 countries in 6 weeks to now being read in 30 states and 16 countries in 3 months. We can also now say that the CNI community is in the hundreds. It might have been thousands by now if a certain narcissist was not rendering people who don’t pay him for “Blue Checks” and him making Substack links and previews invisible to Twitter users and its algorithm.
At CNI’s beginning, articles generated roughly 35%-40% of their traffic from Twitter posts and retweets but over the last several weeks have fallen to 2%-0% without a superuser boost. Ironically, I have more Twitter followers than ever but now have almost zero engagement beyond what I self-generate by tweeting directly at individuals or by posting in retweet rooms.
Indeed many Twitter friends have understandably left to not be associated with Elon, but I have chosen to stick around because I am not yet willing to completely surrender the battlefield. Additionally, no other platform has really distinguished itself as a replacement yet. However, at the rate Musk is driving people off the platform and making Twitter useless and/or costly practically, economically or reputationally for Substack writers, organizations, stars, businesses, democratic governments, activists, superusers and others who once made Twitter useful, fun and cool, the faster he is making Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey’s new Twitter-esque project BlueSky a more viable complete replacement.
This near future replacement could simply be like Twitter was before it became Elon’s ego plaything that behaves in the exact opposite way of a “digital town square” or even as a “free speech absolutist” platform he claimed to want. It now all seems to be about Musk’s badly misguided priorities. BlueSky should never work but thanks to Musk’s narcissistic ego of thinking users will accept him using Twitter to support his self-serving ideology, BlueSky has a good chance of being the thing to take Twitter down.
It will be fascinating to see what happens because as predicted in Musk’s psychological profile, he is far too antisocial to understand how to successfully run a social media company. Of course many have heard he hired a new person to “run” Twitter but it is highly unlikely that a “Trumpy'' Ad person is anything more than a public face puppet and figurehead, whose only real mandate is to try to regain all the ad revenue Elon wiped out with his antisocial antics that made being associated with Twitter, so toxic.
Of course one big message about Twitter’s current “bad actor” status is to request that you please help spread the CNI word on things you find worthy sharing or just clicking “LIKE” on articles, because the better counter-narcissist intelligence is known about and utilized, the weaker narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths become. They are compulsively driven to advance their cravings, which means we need multiple strategies and efforts such as CNI to expose, block and counter humankind’s darkest sides. Just by spreading the word and counter-narcissist knowledge, we are all helping to make the world a better, safer and kinder place.
Thank you Bonus:
Part III of the Elon Musk psychological profile, Dystopias, Dystopians & Elon’s Roy Cohn is now unlocked. There you will find out who Elon’s Palpatine is and much more about the fascinating environments that groomed him so negatively.
For paid subscribers and Founding Members who have been gracious enough to support the CNI project financially, I have been enjoying off and on conversations with a few of you, and since I want to bring paying subscribers continuing value, you are encouraged to send in confidential messages and/or questions about anything you would like to discuss regarding narcissism, narcissists, sociopaths or psychopaths.
There will be more private content in the near future but ideally CNI will never hide psychological knowledge everyone needs behind a paywall. The plan is our main funding comes from individuals, organizations and companies that have specific intel/analysis/profile needs, or patrons like our paid subscribers, founding members and philanthropic organizations who find CNI’s mission of revealing the psychological secrets of narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths, a worthy cause.
Thank you one and all no matter how you have chosen or are able to support CNI! Without your various forms of support including the moral kind, the project would not exist.
CNI Protip: Reading posts immediately via email is “hot off the press,” but if hours have passed since the initial posting, it is best to read via the application because I may make subtle improvements, corrections or add important intelligence to studies, exposés or profiles. As the old saying goes, “My best editing is done after posting.” Best of all is to read each piece more than once because most accurately interpreted psychology is timeless, but this can only be proven true when you go back and see who predicted what accurately or inaccurately.
Thank you very much indeed for your reply.
Not to worry, my Friend. I understand !
Warm Regards,
Harry
I tried posting this to Twitter. We will see if it does post as our friend has been blocking things of late. 3 pics of mine yesterday and some random posts. WEF has arrived early and the Ego is giving a red carpet welcome.
