> it's something others call you as a means of recognising your success if you've earned it. Pity that doesn't appear to be the dominant viewpoint.

That's just human psychology being dumb again. Just make multiple social media accounts and use one to make posts and have the other ones come along to call the first a great entrepreneur. Won't magically make you Warren Buffett but if it gets people to buy the product the first one is selling so you can pay for food/rent so you don't starve, who cares?
