Hmmm. Perhaps I didn’t fully articulate it but what I’m getting at is that everyone has a limited amount of trust. Using Dunbar’s numbers as a proxy for trust, everyone has 150 trusted people in their lives. It’s possible for one individual to hold the trust of more than 150 people though the methods you elaborated, but it’s still a zero sum game. If i develop a strong affinity for a brand or artist or whatever, that comes from someone or something else.
