“With all great power comes with great responsibility”- Peter Park (Spiderman). With a big crowd, as big as 15 million eyeballs watching you as you present an idea, product or showcasing your business comes with great responsibility. The funny thing with big crowds is that for every one mistake you make you would need 5 corrections to make up for that one mistake. This is how people become either an internet superstar or an internet meme overnight. With crowds this big, word spread so fast. We are in the age of internet where everyone can calculate how much a piece of content is shared, liked and saved.
