| From the previous talk |
Whatever I was talking to, it was looking more androgynous than before
??? "You'll probably being working, scrounging enough work hours to make work that will gain trust within the community.
Me - "Yeah."
??? "Thank heavens you're out of solvency, otherwise you'd have even less time to articulate within your illustrations, everything from the style and to the art will change. You'd won't have to take creative risks with your work."
Me - " Uh-huh."
??? " Enjoy being obscure, your art will not work alongside others as it's going to be hard to make a living off twitch. Twitch wants views, it wants attention, and your little side-gig of streaming your art making is not going to attract my attention for a long time."
Me - "I don't care, I'd rather do my quirky odd stream then follow that forsaken recommended categories section."
??? " Even with others surpassing you and humblebragging their status roles with you, asking you to join their little club?"
Me " Those status games don't mean anything to me relatively, I'm playing my own game, slow and steady. With a grand finishing. 3-infinity years of my life doing it, I don't care. Being generous is what matters.
I'll feel my imposter syndrome, my lower status role either way, it's my friend. It when I do my best role, when I had to make a sexually attractive pin up of a couch golem. I can't play games to boost the viewership, not really. Not going to do hackneyed work, unless I have to."
"Do you have any connections? Kindergarten friendship category don't work here."
"No, I have to think in business terms now. Connections instead of friends, a clientele instead of social media. Got no connections to leverage my social media status other the rule-of-law covering my own publishing platform."
??? "Very well then, have your way."
I walk away from this manifestation I call the market.
Me "I'll sell out with a bang if I wanna, producing the finest items of affiliation for the tribe."
