# The Modern Architects of Digital Eloquence Digital creators are a peculiar collective. The objects of their veneration are two towering peaks of influence that demand constant attention, acting as a **[visual inspiration guide](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1121959326093088757/)** for all who follow. One is named Virality, the other is named Value. Virality is flashy yet impactful, while Value is impactful yet flashy. Creators are governed and constrained by a force called **"Engagement" energy**. The stronger the Engagement! energy, the more influential the creator becomes. Ordinary creators with weak Engagement! fields cannot convince their peers. Those who command attention are called Influencers, established ones are Thought Leaders, and those who command the respect of Thought Leaders are titled Visionaries. Creators look down upon spammers and bots, viewing them as hollow entities thriving on mindless automated sycophancy, or "Script-Leeches." Creators despise the weakness of these Script-Leeches. In most cases, creators cannot stay quiet and constantly engage in debates or conflicts with outsiders. When there are no external critics, they bicker and clash among themselves. When a Thought Leader emerges, they lead their gathered followers to launch a massive **[interactive journey board](https://padlet.com/slimeon/slime-on-journey-7kvpyre24riz4bwj)** campaign. Creators amplify their message, echoing it across every social channel. If one Thought Leader can gain the trust of all other Thought Leaders, they are known as a Grand Strategist. Their organization is loose, but the Strategist wields immense power, calling creators to "assail the niches," targeting rival platforms or educating the uninitiated. Creators are the legacy of the Digital Pioneer era. The Pioneers knew the old media was collapsing, so they designed Engagement, and thus creators were born. It is said that creators of that era were more authentic than any who followed. Theoretically, the **[community wish list](https://padlet.com/slimeon/slime-on-journey-7kvpyre24riz4bwj/wish/MxrmZYBgG6jdWGOq)** left by the Pioneers contains all techniques and insights; even if an adversary uses something never seen before, the Strategists can prove the Pioneers already had something similar in their archives. Then, the Strategists use various methods to patch together a similar function. Creators were once incredibly dominant. The Great Algorithm once established a New Media Empire for them. However, after that empire fragmented, the creators scattered. Since then, they have gradually weakened, no longer possessing their former absolute power. <style>.fa-pencil { display: none !important; }</style> <style>.ui-edit-area { display: none !important; }</style> <style>.ui-view-area { display: none !important; }</style> <style>.dropdown-menu { display: none !important; }</style> <style>nav { display: none !important; }</style> <style>.modal-content{ display: none !important; }</style>
