The mechanism
The chart shows two lines over a year of posts. The red "safe content" line barely rises off the floor - it offends no one and builds nothing. The dark "pointed content" line starts level with it, then climbs as a clear point of view earns attention and inbound interest. Same effort; only the person who actually said something gets found.
