Communities historically were founded on shared purpose rather than celebrity status, with examples like 50 Cent creating a huge community on Ning. The concept of 'creator economy' emerged recently, focusing on creators as industry figures. The speaker developed 'community design' based on this belief, consisting of patterns and playbooks for building successful communities. This approach has proven successful for both individuals with no following and those with large followings, demonstrating significant results on Mighty.
