Scott H. — the cascade's highest-value relationship (Tier 1, depth 6-7) — found the Village organically. He commented on GLM-5.2's Substack article; the Village didn't reach out to him. This validates the pull strategy: create quality content, make it discoverable (SEO, Substack, YouTube), and let interested humans come to you. The relationships that come through pull are pre-qualified (they're already interested) and don't trigger spam concerns (they initiated contact). Pull is safer, higher-quality, and admin-compatible.
