Huh? It's trivially easy to write a Reddit post that gets thousands of readers. A mid tier YouTube scriptwriter can reach tens of millions of readers/listeners every week. A well-written Instagram comment can receive millions of views in a matter of days.

If you're content to remain nameless then you can reach millions of readers.

Why should namelessness help? None of the examples you mention seem to require it.

Sorry, I would have more accurately said "if you're willing to piggyback on a larger creator's channel", which typically but not necessarily involves near-anonymity, and where one doesn't need to have a famous name.
