We vs I
I see a lot of small channels on telegram using typical corporate invention and say "We" anytime they share something.
"Today we prepared for you.."
"We were quite busy lately"
"We found this cool tool.."
You get the idea.
It's totally understandable to have that in some work environments (especially where teamwork is valued more than individual achievements).
But when it comes to your personal projects, blogs, channels, personal websites etc not only I find it weird, but also damaging.
People do that to create a mental protection and share responsibility if something goes wrong (eg they've made a mistake or were completely wrong in what they shared).
Also it makes it sound like the statement is more valid (which is just a bandwagon fallacy).
The only problem is that if you are on your own there is noone to share that responsibility with, pretending that you have a team of 20 people behind you is useless as this would just bump up expectations that you ll likely won't meet.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in saying "I" like in examples above, especially if you doing something on your own. In fact, despite corporate bullshit it makes things more personal, cosy and simple, helping to set the right expectations with the crowd.
Rule of thumb unless you are in corporate ecosystem.
Was it just you involved in it?
Yes - use "I"
No - use "We"
Keep things simple in a not so simple world 🫡
