[Exclusive] Candid/Hot Takes

I totally agree with you and I don’t think you’re being “not grateful” at all. One of the reasons people are content creators is to make money, and it sucks when it’s hard to do your job when platforms make it so much harder nowadays. But at the same time so much easier? I feel like everyone is a micro influencer, like you said! I find myself not even wanting to go on social media half the time because it’s SO much fucking content and it’s overwhelming. But at the same time I have this sense of FOMO because I don’t have the next best thing — and that next best thing literally changes daily lmao. Not as much FOMO as I had when I was a teenager, but it’s still there. It’s exhausting! I definitely think my/your generation is moving away from posting constantly which is cool though. I’m not sure how I feel about the flip phone trend, unfortunately I think I’m way too addicted to my iPhone 🥲

This is why I have notifications turned on. :D It definitely is odd looking back a few or more years and seeing how we used to be online versus today. I'm not really sure what happened. Like if it's just became easier to organize against someone or if stalking became that much easier. I'm glad you've been able to turn some of these negatives into positives though with safety tips for other creators and making people aware of fetish baiting requests. I definitely have a sense of helplessness being fed so much negative information. Part of that is the focus on engagement from social media companies I think. That chasing that carrot has led us from "let people produce engaging content" to "show as much content to make someone angry as possible." I guess that's capitalism, but platforms like Patreon and old Twitter at least give/gave some choice to follow things we care about instead of seeing a barrage of advertisements for other creators. Now if Patreon could just implement a dark mode, that might go a long way to making it a better world. :P
