Although it’s a colloquial way of putting it, being a ‘fan’ seems like the social relationship that you’re describing. The point of contact is only the subject of shared interest, yet that alone provides fellowship and forms a community. Sports fans will recognize instantly when they see the trappings of another enthusiast whether they are friend or foe. Also, jargon is a marker for fans of any genre. When meeting for the first time, fans will exchange cues that will reveal and confirm their mutual interest. Fans personify the old saying, “Birds of a feather, flock together”.

Your analysis is absolutely on-target with some of his findings. It’s an interesting subject area that’s getting traction amongst many publishers.

Congrats on the FP!

(This may be generational; I am over 40.)

I agree with many of the commenters here that I prefer to make up my own mind. The most influential are people I know and trust, whose budgets and priorities are similar.

The last thing I want — I agree with Crystal on this — is some company trying to be my social media pal. Enough already!
