on the lindy effect

The Lindy Law

Reading self-help advice of crafting crafter for craft. The way of the meta of meta. Self-referential.

WITH NO OWNERSHIP Welcome to the creative commons. Are you surprised?

So much intake of consumption of content with the way it's like it's got that way. Industry complex of condescension on the front page, or am I looking at the mindless entertainment in infront of the front page?

This is the best the place has to offer.

Then you have to protect your attention.

Then with manners it goes. To look in the other places.

Negligent Craft

The fictional legelese, of it's respect.

 When one can be negliglent to the craft that can't be made.

What does one do? Interact with the the world that's outside ones own imagination?

All the imaginings of another world what it's mean to feal an entertained possibility of non-material becoming, and with that state of entertainment, there's a moment of understanding of another world granted by the vision of the author, into a door of communication of another mind.

Well, telepathy, even with the misreadings and the misinterpretations.

It's all worth it to be part of a society that's made our culture.

Dignify bad artifice of the entertainment argument.

It's the manipulation behind it.

Book avoidance List 3

The Secret

" The law of attraction" along with that, placebo with misinformation and it cannot transcend cancer, apparently. These are the weird popular things recommended by a middle age to my teens that do not understand the world, yet offer a confidant solution of a network scam.

Such is the productivity of the neoliberal dream. BS

Seth Godin's Lynchpin

Most likely in the common sense of productivity advice, gotta take guts to be put on the recommendation and anti-recommendation! Wow, that's an effect that will not go away.

Mainly because his points are clarified better (if you ignore what he says within the east) in his song of significance as a art as a human resource, rather than body with his Taylorism rant, this was his attempt to bring his own ideas, yet it's all the rambling of the amygdala and lizard brain which is wrong btw.

Girl Wash your Face

(I'm not going to read this, going to have an opinion not based on evidence anyway.)

This is BS productivity, well, something that trusts the cynics attempt of the industry plant with high Disney production connection and end up proselytize, turning every moment into inspiration porn.

Ideally, avoiding this burn-out 'advice' (Heavy snarl quotes) Of a heavy short feedback loop of attention then back again, there's a churning nightmare of burn-out potential competition with toxic productivity, and it's all there is.

Having an abusive family is no excuse for suffering schedules. Well, my 2022 examination was thorough, huh?

Hustle-trance/Overpayment scam alert

 Could only draw this impression of something. Welp, 800$ in order to get a 'refund' with a fake paypal. With a hustle of a discord, voice chat urging me on. With that plausible deniability, doing the barest minimum to get away with it.

Sombody tried to hustle me with the easiest scam in the book, prerentious playbook, so i switched back into serious character and blocked and reported.

Say no to spammers.

Well, I shall call the new hustle-trance, this is from herd morality. Taking it from that concept, and with the entitlement complex of profit. Got that from the liberal seth.

Why i may not be a comic artist.

Contemplation, I'll continue zining. Yet a need the negative space to propel forward.

• Low pay: Lack of wages since it's one of the passions that can't be fuelled and be profitable, that's a reality with most creative industries. Or, oxymoronically, it's due to creativity might not pay off, an indertinimate amount of trying to make something new.
• Abusive Supervisors with awful labour management practices/ No labour protections: This comes from expierence, I brushed with them twice , Well, with graphic design/illustrator jobs.
  I learned more from Eric Helms bodybuilding pyramid and then that. Realistic, enjoyable, and flexible.
• Hustle Mindset: Level up! Power scaling! Amelioration for the sake of it, when all the labour puts down with the distribution being sent online for a microblogging platform that only expects pornographic performances, or something to that of copywriting. A mental model that's never good enough with the metric that can harbour averages.
  
  There's a ladder, and there's a bridge to sell you, so many with the how-to-industry complex.
  
  
• Art is mere copyrighting commodification: Well, You know if you know. At least I know I'm a hackneyed entertainer for transparency of my aesthetics with what I show, like a magician's illusion, because I find it fun to hold attention. They do have a vanity with the delusions of grandeur. Especially with the industry of publishers of copyrighting for them with PR. Lack of self-respect with the field of not protecting there labour.

That's water is wet moment. Yet I do it anyway.

 Other than that, the vision of making a storyboard to life continues.

If you know, you know, sex work vendors/suppliers governance

There was this cartoonist who did this graph, this is from memory of digital dreams.

Yep, NSFW do get paid better in extrajudicial spaces, why though? Well, It's meme'd as he his commented on the sex work got debanked, commenting how publishers bamboozle creatives with NDA's and sussy licensing deals.

So, ahedonia aside, got further comments of this reductionstic. Physical mechanism and the clerks that do it?

I here plenty of flippant accounts with the porn community, or the gooning community, and then there's the masturbating yourself to death with substack posts. Is it a dead end? Well, It goes back to Queens blade critique by Bennet the sage.

" queensblade of being too good at targeting their intended demographic, but that doesn't mean it has to come with all the narrative baggage that it does in terms of succeeding with their demographic as well as being a generally alright story, queen's blade falls short

of my little pony "

Well, that aspect maybe why they call is sex work, since the illiterate audience who only cares about that aspect will be an left to feel like doing something better. Even Seth dismissed it with "A/B testing leading decentralised hosts leading to a porn site."

"Cookie cutter porn accounts farming commissions" - anonymous, It was with a somebody dissatisfied, and it's coming along with my own that, this idea that you have to do it, is the pervading idea of sexcess, forced labour. It can reek of desperation, or it can not, If they are friendly, I'm not calling it out, only picking out the hustlers, because fewer hustlers mean I can get more honest conversations.

Guess I'm not a gooner, to an obsessive compulsive disorder.

I asked one of the sex workers, and I attempts to clarify my own thing, too much of response rate rather than any literacy, it's too casual.

"That's the problem with the physical mechanism of sex/asex work, it can get so reductionistic to exclude literary genre." I typed to one of the rule 34's, and with that, if financial extentionism is all they care about. Then, that ain't exiting.

Since, the governance will have to go anarcho-syndicalist or communalist with no enforcement, (look up, shadow libraries) otherwise it will have to be a keep-scrolling and self-governance kind of affair, Extrajudicially. 

They are going to deal with certain kinks being illegal. With this brute fact reductionism, stop acting infantilizes and tantrums. ( That's anarco capitalism for ya )

Start to be taken serious, not like the prosumer ways of a gamer. Fatalism and predetermination. I wish the porn vendors well, other than that.

Tom-Fishburne Cartoon. Unfortunately, since the ab-testing of the hosts leads to a wild west and Kim Kardashian Meta, I'm not so sure if being cute and entertaining American audiences with a mawkish look at the sex industry.

It's a doomed excuse without the organisation. So I'm going to have to be more picky with the untagged hustling on microbloggers.

Hustling by definition is dishonest money-making.

Since sex work (and work as in being nebulous that It can capture forced labour) can force a toxic notion of sexcess. < Further Reading/n essay.

Milkable Lolcows, easy money

 It's easy money, baby.

Sharing this old fitness YouTube by elite fitness, His endorsement of 3 favourite YouTubers of Mike Isratel is outdated, yet its relevant

Since they're a informal group looking for a fun little mockery of performative high school dynamics. It's easier to follow such a mentality, of which it is.

Yet it's all a status role game too, which is high, which is pretentiously high to laugh at to release tension with anti-drama? Or do we gag at, which controversy it is to follow to be part of the in-group, which is to be excluded? Where is the line.

All rhetorical questioning as where the friend group unpredictably goes and win's the viral lottery.

Hunting packs, I don't know what to know about them.  Mob Manipulation is something that ain't

So don't bet on the scarce chance of going viral and then sponsorships.

I think of this quote when it comes to popular/unpopular with celebrity, not breaching certain rule-of-laws with others.

"Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection."
Neal Boortz

It was the last quote that was quoted within the atheist splits years ago.

what will I tell my younger self?

"Keep yourself outside the data set, away from the average. Be the best at what you do best. Maintain your independence of vision" - James Gurney. I'd share that quote.

As since, the quantification with mass media continues, along with expression being bowdlerised to meet.

Beware of the perverse incentives and industrial burnout, that's not accurate. Learn from the natural bodybuilding industry of multiple experiences. Ignore professional mediocrity, pursue freelance and own your schedule so that it's auto-regulated and healthy. Don't be a 24-on demand artist. Ignore hustle and sigma culture.

Take head of the labour theory of value, I don't be afraid of commitments, ideological commentary and editorials.

"Ignore the perverse incentives of hustle culture, of toxic productivity and toxic positivity."

Remove all axiology when thumb nailing and sketching.

"what to do now?" Best *____* Sufficiency > Best

Here's some axiology and specs, although it shifts on the internet. Merely my attitude.

It's wrong to think that infinity of goods/services is a necessary been to believe, for it is an unmeasurable concept.

Sufficiency is the thing that fills the cup with the material baseherent (Baseherent, foundherent based on Susan Haack) conditions. With the knowledge, no perfect knowledge as the work continues.

It all continues, that's a mark of persistent in the face of adversity.

Guess I'll quote as practice.

G. A Cohen, "The promise of abundance is not the endless flow of goods, but a sufficiency produces with a minimum of unpleasant exertion"

Such a definition that can fit well with labour and with the creative to help auto-regulate. Auto-regulate to make it trial and error.

Can't have everything.

survivorship bias

 Overlooking the fact there are so many, from the ad creep, the ad creeping horizon of expectations. With the crawling sigma grind set and the crunch culture. That happens to be the case of the odds one out with courses.

Swimmers body all over again, instant results, before and afters, edits, get the she-bang in the flash, transform in the snap of the fingers.

Yep, too good to be true 
Survivorship bias, like fallacies, are informal fallacies which can't be quantified and need credibility to back it up. I'm going through my own experience with this.

Should include western ballet thing, yet that's my campism and politics talking. Still reassessing my own positioning on that matter, and will have to come back to you with another editorial.

Dead Horses and advertisers, Commercial Scientism

It never ends, it's what advertising does.

Like betterhelp, they don't want to end, they want to get attention with their campaigning. Covered it before.

Campaigns are not meant to go away with a debate, over any axis and distinction. You'll see them again. Commercial Campaigning is like Imperial Campaigning, except is a war of attribution.

The terminology matters less than the response here, David Oglich himself did not call himself an artist, he wanted it to be a informational exchange.

Everbody talks about brand marketerising, what about direct response/conversion rate marketerisation.

The conversion rate that's ruthless, and scientism..

Will the behaviourist tradition of putting lipstick on a pig will work? Even a shrewd advertiser like Herschel Gordon Lewis. I'm honest with my fictional entertainment. Yet, it's extended.

Indefinitely for hierarchy.

Anime burnout

Aokaimaidu got me these sources, thought I'd add my comments.

Kuroshi and licensors. Along with production committees, there's going to have to be a line somewhere where creative labour forces will have to stop jumping through hoops and licensing loopholes with that industry complex.

Death by overworking with comic 'professional' that being a euphemism here since there are overworked comicer that have this Stockholm syndrome with the profit motive. Like being rented mules with others like other rented mules, like the previous.

Or is the standard where love cannot persevere amongst hateful working conditions? Best to be separate from all that ruckus.

Sony has consolidated the licensing, to have to keep in mind.

Licensing politics, even entertainment can't especape form sone/disney/nintendo when it comes to that.

Passion Exploitation

They are writing about passion exploitation

Word, even though they may not change our thinking, there are malicious 'teachers' out there who'd think they can out-train sleep.

Beware of groups that become MLMs, Moneys into false promises, and swindles into a realm of creative industry.

Industry...

I could rant about it more and more, only to avenge by doing the more important thing, which is to learn to not work for exploiters.

Such a shame that our own manners of internal motivators can be taught bad patterns, It's only wise to not work for cruelty.

12 min video in regard to passion exploitation

Pain as a generator of creativity, I don't think it's possible. Oh, it's a better as engagement bait and a race-to-the-bottom advice advertising.

Manage and own the effort

Art_Of_Arthy Furrath thumbnails

Since we only get so much effort in the day and the outsider of will only get its impression. A simplification of ockan's razor, to eliminate adjective reasoning, is required.

Or if it quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

If it looks like a specification, it is a specification. 

Anything others shall be considered creativity and art. One or the other.

Best to make it with where the effort is distributed where, the inner effort and the outer impact are aligned accordingly.

Least exhausting way possible

Mizaki on the others.

Finding curation and a home for one's own artwork is going to be an imperative for the creative seeking not to exhaust himself, to balance his dreams with his own craft and it's demands of the body. It's all within the management of the trials to come, and to survive the oncoming duress of it all.

There's a time when one feels the tiredness, the exhaustion, it's a skill that can be learnt, and it seems to be forgotten with what burnout society has left us.

It's merely entertainment, it's merely a distraction, go to have rest'n recovery with the sleep opportunity offered.

The dissappeared blogs, From monetised whispers.

 There are "meta" blogs, trying to game the algorithm, or attempts for dominion and failures, like cheating and such.

Now it's gone, with writing things to be made into the robots, then there are gone, deleted. Files of information that are left into the wastes of lost-media.

Creativity for creativity's sake ain't celebrated, there are left to rot into the forgetfulness of our times, lead into a most profanely disservice that's made into emptiness.

Yet all of this time. That all this task to be made with a priceless intent, one that is to push forward and honour a desire to give our own selves to aid others.

So yes, do go and make an honest living, that living shall not enclosed with the little spindle of creativity that come forth here.

I'm not monetizing this.

Kelly Turnbulls favourite top burnout hits

Memory sketch without ref, looking like a fire-pixie.

I must catalogue Kelly on xwitter before that ship sinks. I remember that as a child. 

Learning to not work for abusive burnout-schedules is part of the process onto being a

"Animation has a huge problem with “cool” shows involving popular IPs at trendy studios treating their staff like absolute garbage, because they’re banking on you feeling so privileged to work there that you’re willing to let them juice you until there’s nothing left

If you start up on a production and every artist (particularly board artists) not in leadership positions like directors and supervisors are under 30 that’s a HUUUUUGE Red Flag🔺🔺🔺

Basically it says a) they’re specifically targeting young, hungry people who are less likely to push back if they’re being asked to do unreasonable things because they’re insecure about their careers and b) no one with commitments like kids and mortgages trusts their schedule

(Note: Unreasonable schedules and work-loads)

“Board Driven” shows especially, as they exist with the current TAG contract, are the biggest con in Hollywood. Board artists are expected to do the ENTIRE job of a writer in addition to the entire job of a board artist, with no extra time or compensation.

I say this as someone who LOVES to write; they bank on ambitious, hungry young people who want to prove they can do it all, willing to do at least two jobs (but also often the job of a designer to create all the characters and environments that will be needed)

Out of curiosity I looked up WGA minimums and found that if kid’s cartoons were covered by WGA and artists on Board Driven shows recognized as writers, they would have to pay me more to write an 11 minute episode script than TAG makes them pay me to write AND board it."

"The last time I worked on a board-driven show, the more artists bent to meet unreasonable demands, the more was demanded. I left burnt out, demoralized, and unsure of how I would ever work in animation again. I told my friends “I feel like cartoons don’t live in me anymore

The things expected of story artists, for no extra compensation, are atrocious. I keep seeing people even younger than me say things like “I’m 26, I can’t work fast enough to keep up with new kids these days”, any industry that makes people feel this is predatory, simple as that

It’s an industry taking advantage of being “a cool job” to bring in people full of enthusiasm and juice everything out of them with an industrial press, then throw the husks away. And the most marginalized groups will always be the ones with the most to lose in that system.

Anyway this is all to say please support #StoryCraftUnite and #NewDeal4Animation animation is producing the most-watched content on streaming services, we kept the wheels of the entertainment industry turning through the pandemic, our jobs shouldn’t run us like rented mules

(response to the abuse practices of the spider-verse abuses)

"People in the comments are saying “well if treating a crew like this gets results this good, then we should celebrate it!” But I PROMISE you a crew is always going to give you the best version of what they’re capable of when they’re happy and feel like their work is being valued

Like however good something may have turned out despite the crew waiting for the eagle to come pick out their liver every day, it can be EVEN BETTER if your crew isn’t in constant anticipation that their sandcastle is about to be kicked over.

It’s not just crunch, there’s a great quote I heard once that was something like “people don’t burn out because of hard work, they burn out when they feel like their hard work doesn’t matter”. Endless reworks with no end in sight makes a job feel like a Sisyphean nightmare."

"I saw a similar discourse happen when I said Big Mouth treated me better than any other show I’d worked on and people were like “well if treating artists like people makes shows like Big Mouth we should abuse them more”, but I’ll tell you what actually happens-

If the cool, high art projects treat their artists like garbage, those artists burn out and go to the jobs that treat them well. You don’t get better art from abused artists, you get the best, most experienced artists avoiding those projects after they’ve been burned

Cool projects aren’t made better by bad conditions. They have bad conditions because they know that by virtue of being cool and desirable, they won’t have a hard time finding more bodies to throw into the pulp mill when if they grind up all the ones they already have."

Vain glory oxymoron

There is the worst schedule in the world, within the libertarian dystopia, it could be one's own.

Still thinking about how vain-glory this Stockholm condition to capitalism is, Insecure status roles lead to lying about work-schedules that and the exploitation of passion an industry addicted to mass-market advertising.

What a way to indicate as little passion and to creative industries.

A pull the ladder behind oneself.

Greg Capullo has been... lying about his work schedule, and there are others who lie about their work-hours too. Only with my sensitivity with a physical coach and my own.

These syllabuses of others life will never translate into your own, regardless of the truth. Should not degrade into Tik-tok Clip farming, edited for SEO.

Professionalism is whatever they want it to mean for them, including getting dominion.

Since then, He may have back-peddled, yet this advice will all crop up again like the Bulgarian training split, it refuses to die because sex sells.

"to this day still cannot wrap my head around direct market comics pros and them not just being relentlessly exploited, but frequently being eager about that exploitation, proud of their exploitation, instead of once ever thinking "the way our bosses treat us is ****** up"
this Justice League America page by Kyle Baker came out in May, 1991. It is 33 years old and you still see comics pros enthusiastically acting like this


the only group of creators that i think ever act this ******* eager to get ****** over instead of acting in their own interest against their bosses and publishers is like. Y.A. fiction writers

*** still remembering when BOOM! only paying $50 a page for artists for awhile was *a publicly known thing* and plenty of comic artists were still going "yeah i'll take that job". you'd get better pay for far less work doing a handful of SFW fursona headshots on a twitch stream

comic pros are so frequently a very strange combo of being incredibly prideful but simultaneously having very little self-respect or ability to act in their self-interest"

"You'll find the exact same attitude with many people working in creative industries, like animators and video game devs. Stockholm syndrome for capitalism coupled with insecure narcissism for the own status, I'd say."

Sorry to log back on and jump into being depressing, but...for what? 1995 is not returning. You are not going to become Capullo by sacrificing friends and hobbies. You cannot become a rich man via comics anymore. And you don't have to sacrifice your health or a social life to be a great artist.

Imagine breaking your back and stressing yourself out for poverty. Baby, that is INSANE. You have a better chance getting rich with scratch-offs. I am so serious.

If you love comics? Make comics. Make them on the side as a hobby. Do not expect to become rich from them. Yes, even if you are incredibly talented. And fast. Also, the industry doesn't give a **** about you. Because NO industry gives a **** about employees.

And I'm not saying this to be mean, but to prevent another me. Big-name creators giving advice on breaking into comics is like a Boomer who bought his million-dollar house in 1974 for $20,000 giving real estate advice.

You go to a Capullo or Lee for advice on the artistic process. Perspective, shading, breaking down a stellar action sequence. They are BRILLIANT. Don't go to them (or ANY '90s/'00s star) for advice on how to get rich or get on Batman in 2024. They don't know.

100% this. Their skill is largely (and will likely remain) unmatched. They are artists in every sense of the word. But they do not know - and can never know - what it is like to start in their industry *now*.
