How To Make Your Creativity Beat The Algorithm (w/Live Performance) - Dylan Gossett - #1155

Country music's chart surge and Dylan Gossett's anti-formula, minimal-promotion approach show authenticity itself becoming a contested, gameable marketing strategy.

• 'Coal' origin: Dylan wrote his breakout hit in ~25 minutes at his apartment while working at Circuit of the Americas, then sat on it 1-2 years before posting.
• Minimal promotion strategy: He's posted 'Coal' only 7-10 times total (ever), resisting agency advice to pre-save and repost dozens of times to game virality.
