Discord minimalism


25 discord channels, unsure if they are walled gardens or viable avenues to place the attention in. Each twitch channel that is raided has a discord channel now. Everybody has one.

What it's for? Community is the most charitable interpretation. Yet, not for somebody with boundaries. Successful creative professionals don't need it.

Who's it for? Charitable again Somebody who's a regular, according to their schedule. During spare pockets of their time, otherwise they'd be doing work that matters for people who care. Not somebody who's going to burn it at both ends. Who'd stay up all night for social media status roles? 

These aren't promoters, a time sink that could be a race to the bottom.

Great, another choice one will have to make.

These discord channels are not great channels for freelance premotion. Of finding the smallest viable audience.

They seem to remain as little playgrounds and as not as hunting grounds for promoting agents and publisher. Probably, they should remain that way.

A rule.

  • Only post my art in community's that are raided. Don't do everything for free for the internet, otherwise there'd be infinity.
