Artifice of Remarkability

"Advertising is a tax of being unremarkable." said Robert Stephans. Founder of geek squad. Shall that be questioned? Robert even pushed authenticity line even if it did not apply to professionals. Dirty little secrets when it comer to advertiser who manufacture 

Yeah, it can be questioned with its remarkability.

Even remarkability has an artifice.

People lie about this, to save face and to exploit the time and attention of others, who knew?

Hackneyed payola, of parasocial relation that's brought --------------to the centre of it all, no disillusions entering this rat race of social congregation circulated by nepo babies. Or that's how I, you, everybody who'd want it too for how this cannot be tracked. With the age of scepticism creeping into here.

48 video on the start of such a line of pedagogy.

Prosumer Remarkability sounds suspicious.

(At least Seth once discussed payola, to be even. He's honest in his contradictions.)

Direct Opportunity Drop-off/Medium of Expresion

 There are two divisions with two associated meaning. To help distinguish the direct/brand marketing further; new metaphors.

1. Direct advertising = Opportunism/Positivism
   
   Numbers, calculations. This is the stuff that leads towards the marketing funnel and getting paid in financial substance to allow the continuation of the creation. Yeah yeah, its the response rate a investor or producer asks a copywriter.
   
   Unfortunately, it's because opportunism that leads towards tallest sentiment for a race to bottom. Yet the measurable substance is the paradoxical empiricism that drags on the motivations of market.
   
   The begrudging acceptance, though, if it's going to be treated as the vertical scaling. Treat it like a direct mail send out that respects the time and attention of the user. Not to cheat them out of it. I'm not even sure if this is the way to determine a thing to make it out.
   
   Discord, how I regret engaging with you. Funko pop community.
   
   
2. Brand marketing = Medium, Puritan (The best kind) Mysticism
    
   In the mystical dimension now, where this land of dualism is brought into a metaphor of what could be described as divine.
   
   Refusing to measure can sound puritan, ain't it? It can be the best, even if it's insular. It allows focusing on the special stuff, the mystic magic that can even be done with intent. The smallest change of seeing the status of one and leading them on their way. That's a benefit, the hard to measure trust and attention that has the verisimilitude of being treated.

Danger of Amusement

 Amusing ourselves to death by Neil Postman, Another iconoclastic book

That essay from Huxley, from Neil postman along with entertainment as epistemology are to be ringing today.

Not with social media to this day. Some lessons are to be made with how this new technology batters show-business products for the advertiser to reach with a direct response measurement.

I look at all the streams and long tail of live-streaming, and it's all goes down to a slurry of what we would like to call entertainment. Go to apparently reach the top of more amusing than interesting. That is the trouble, boring entertainment, however paradoxical, is laid before us. Where celebrity has overtaken authority on absurd claims.

This has to be the best argument for the age of scepticism for copywriters. Especially the politics chapter. The amusing veil places growing mistrust on the public. Because entertainment is being putting over truth, epistemology, and justice. Such scepticism is used with healthy scepticism. With the internet today, designed for free use and not made for commercial speech.

The excavation of art into a show-business product continues.

Feature overload discord

Have you ever seen such a thing like the Yahoo overloaded with feature creep? Have you seen it so deeply as in the long tail of discord?

This is where no viable business can go. It's suffering from follow the leader syndrome as much as commercial mass cult in terms of uncrated distribution. Mindless folksnomy.

Promises can't be kept by regulars with such a long shot of communal engagement. If you want to feel the feature overload, then sign up and see if time could be squeezed into smaller and smaller boxes there. Attention cannot last behind such an extreme compartmentalization.

These funko pop playgrounds..

There were games, there were threads, there was many a thing that felt like it was not useful. For the illustrator and comic artist a simple channel of the gallery, and communication are needed, yet more and more the things can go down with its own weight. Collapse it goes!

The path of aloneness

Dokkōdō.

Sometimes looking after one's own business could feel like following a path of aloneness. One of chaste fulfilment that looks into the face to fufill a profession, even one that does not pay. To look ahead with it as a holy choir.

It's the price to pay for a promise that's worth paying for. To show, up again and again, tautological and unpersuasive yes, tethered with the diversions going to and fro.

If this path is embraced, then the only service is to oneself, all this to show care in the commitment. That's what a soloist demonstrates. The duty required, if through a choice.

Hyper measurement fixation

Everything is on commission, the quickest, cheapest physical measurem
ent. Social ain't nothing yet senseless calls to action which soft skills can be measured now.

Well, not quite.

Because if it can be measured, it ain't that's what intrinsically good to each individual. What we've come to is a deadening effect, where connections are merely thought as means to attract traction for payment.

All this need for payment to hide from art means it's hard to draw a social connection, which is priceless. The means to make a commodified product with commercialized walled gardens promising a magic key. Be wary.

As I bought cspv3, there's a work time that measures time with the back to work app has done. 36 h 02m Easier and easier to measure than before 📏

Even when anything is treated like a transaction with a hack of reciprocity, not a relationship. Then such a gift of the unmeasured soft skills will be lost. Well, everything on commission now. This is the exact same attitude of what commercial industries are using to pick direct response to pull in numbers in amoral acts.

Poverty of attention

The articulation of defences from the attention suckers.

Now it must be brought to attention of this neverpost podcast episode, that's made on attention management. With lateral cross-checking and all other techniques. It's come to roost now marketing clothes are laying more bare now, more bare now than ever.

All profit motives are being dissected right in front of our eyes.

Critical ignoring, deliberate ignorance, and Jomo (the joy of missing out). Its the courtesy of a generous customer who leaves, wanting to be the user with the benefit directed to his career, not to the advertiser.

With the need to make a living connected to our profit motive, where will it stop? The mechanization that torture creators of these commercial platforms where placed there by design.

Has somebody muted you?

Haters gonna hate

That realization that one may have been muted. You can't tell, it's plausible deniability. That may be in your favour. A rejection that's indiscreet, with the pain of exposure through oneself.

It's the cost of doing business of creativity, or articulating a point of view. What's so career ending, and quality of life loss about it? This is the cost of doing business within a public space. The cost of being generous, overthinking the generous offer made, is a nope.

This ain't capital P publishing, it's a playground meant for traction.

If one can't be direct and then are worried with the posts taking traction away from the tenure. Then they offer a generous block, then be on their way. The work being the only thing left. It's not for them.

Yay for exposès on workloads/burnouts

I ranted online in the wake of a mangaka passing away. Time to share further thoughts.

Rian Sygh @rianSygh.social

"Every time a beloved mangaka dies I think about how hard they work, how little they sleep, and how much time is stolen in the pursuit of deadlines. I think about my friend Ian, who died from that same pressure, and I wonder what art was left inside of them when their body breaks down."

Then I replied:

"The more exposès on education, entertainment, and other industriy complexs of crunch culture, the better. Rise and grinders with masochistic meritocracy, to the dishonest content mills with dishonest workloads. It's time to reckon with those who burn the candle at both ends as a medal of honour. 🛋📣
I doubt this school of thought will go away along with the vices of the industry. It's going to come back with the want to push for success and financial maximization. As somebody who's studied progressive overload, there is none, can't work more hours. Physically illiterate tops will be watched 🔺️👀🛋"

Seeing how the sausage is made, with the magician when it comes to workloads, Bring it on. Since being the one-and-only marketability is used to court sceptics has be shown with the emperor with no clothes. The cookie jar of emotional labour is seen, because committee can't be open at all fronts, unlike and individual. Some things can't scale out of a single artist.

Is-ought authenticity conundrum

There is a descriptive to the prescriptive payment gap that a creative professional must face. That gap is made with emotional labour of creating value.

Because payment ain't received on a silver platter, not for most classes within this commercial world, except for the nepo baby's.

This is what happens when a fundraiser or determination can't hold that line of trust and view into the work, that offers a serve of the user. Right at the point of showtime.

With the normalization of influencers and trying to make everything relatable, and transparent for the sake of it. Scrounging everything for content for their own places. It comes to attention that the way we show our real selves illusory to the front face that is shown within media, sending the message.

Pretention

If you make a claim of importance; prove it. One of the first rules of copywriting. To cut back on the puffery, and not be coy about it. We are talking funds, important. Timer and the attention symbolically represented. That's been given beforehand.

Pretention, the imposter syndrome being the point one can feel to hit that moment, being the incomplete serviceability that has not been shipped.

If everything is bold, none of it is, down to a single point of an!

Exhibitionism, meta-traction

To show oneself around the world with one click of the mice, into the published button. This is this encouraged, by design, by the user interfaces we have.

How meant to gain traction from the social media that we put ourselves on. Then through the meta-harvesting. Using the exact same thing if we do as businesses and as socialites.

This methodology of courting is what we are designed for, it's ingrained in the system. The epistemology of the study of knowledge now has an economy of attention that is not watched, cared or attended to. It's a scarcity manufactured for the express interests of those who know nobody wants to read, look or socialize with them. The cycle goes round.

Be wary of the meta-traction.

Unsatisfying fetish service.

Itekgai eudaemonia, self deterimination theory. all for eternal motivation lived to the moment that's made to a point of transcendent to a point that's made to be pushed forward. To that moment, was it to that fetish?

Mere catharsis of dopamine. The short rush of pleasure ain't enough to ahead.

Is there such a thing as being overserviced? To cope with a serviceability of climate and Culture this day. It all can become a naive shield for what is to become of the next day.

What do you expect from the nothingburgers? Of the utilitarian force over the deliberate illiteracy. It's best celebrated within its own category. Since there's always going of a marketability with this. This goblin mode of work is only successful on a scene-to-scene basis. It can't hold attention for long though.

Beware of overserviceability, even yourself. Misserviceability it an ouchie too.

Gurney did a Blog post on Itekgai on it.

This ain't love, what is love?

Green Roundabout

Social media, with the process of ens***ification. Has made the grass greener, a neon green, blinding.

This mode of comparison has driven through the false merit and buying artificial importance through commissioned illustrations and writing. This memetic potential is fleeting, though, frustration as the importance and trust of ourselves remains.

Keep this impatient vendor ship at check.

Comradery at questionable prices

Pedagogy and the magic networking of merit, with a Ponzi triangle holding a friendly mask. What can go wrong?

15.37 On the commodification of relationships behind paywalls.

Esprit de Corps at a price, keep that In mind. There are those who prey on social alienation and the way the internet makes that with a costly parasocial relationship.

A parasocial relationship that offers a nebulous business relationship, with it being a frustrated vendor-to-vendor. At least that. Keep those videos in mind when Garoshadowscale sells 500 of advertisement payola.

These free social services treat you like a product unless one is using it as an extension of their business, Who is the benefit?

Anybody who does not watch out for the mutual business/funding interests are not friend material.

40 sec meme on relatability

Sinacures of ambulance chasing

Oh no, react streamers are rising up!

Is there really such a living of the direct response marketing? Merely saying whatever the market of attention and time wants, then deliver it and run?

You could complain about the reaction streamers, yet they exist of these platforms for a reason. They're cash cows for the platform. Even with such a behaviour, there's always going to be long tail, so even then. It's not worth such a lottery.

These people will continue to attract a low-effort audience to their tenures. This circle has been amplified by advertisers within this response rut. Another reason to not trust SEO. These are easy audiences. Too easy.

There is always going to be grass that's greener on the other side, one of social media's job is to amplify it.

28 min assessment on the reaction content. A measured response through the legalese. I am in agreement with XQC's commentary being equal to that of a barking dog.

Athlean-x Content farm = Mcdonaldification

14 min

Going to share some favourite fitness videos from Geoffrey Verity Schofield.

Content farms are one thing, (look at this one, farming for discovery.) It's mcdonaldofication of those and the bleeding effect that has on the industry.

Any act of generosity that follows some pattern online here could be a content farm. How does one get their business discovered? Not by the social media landowners. I really don't know how to get out of the content farm industry complex.

16 min another cussy one with selling out, from dishonest products to too many remote controlled zappable moments.

You're free to burn Couch Gregor if he sells a dubious brand deal, for I'd be the one calling it out with you, the former one.

Fanart/Fan Fiction defense

Influences from Bert, Ernie and Gutsman.

1.27 hour

 I've been critical of fandoms before, linking a blood knife article. This is a more measured response to it.

Other than Marcell Duchamp's work, the fountain of the creator Baroness Von Freytag-Loringhoven.

Especially the remark about troupes, this has been a remixing and reshuffling from the normative stream of tropes that last within the collective unconsciousness. With the hermeneutics that follow after.

With my Couch man, it's inspired by Eugene Sandow's, that advertising model and entrepreneur, these undercurrents will be discussed from the public domain and into the fan-art's area.

With a big whopping 'depends' Edges of genre definition and playing at it must show respect. It is copy, yet everything is copy if broadened. It's how it's twisted.

Could it be that it's pure copywriting? It's too insignificant. Watch for my evolving thoughts after these, as these narrative patterns get readjusted overtime.

Adding Gabe for those nuggets of wisdom and bass that slaps.

Going to take learning in a horizontal-directional manner, with it going through other practices and applying it. You can only know so much storytelling and illustration you want to reverse engineer other practices, then learn to see another world.

Lateral learning, what can it do?

Freebie raffles aren't free

Neurasthenic and interpassivity, that's the phrase that comes to mind with the freebie being offered by representatives, a chance to be on the front page, to get that first slot for some direct response on some tenure.

Rote scripted stuff without the emotional humanity of organic matter, repeated over and over of ad-free of script. (Even though there's certainly a manner of avoiding it, the elephant, that there's blocking software.)

These are the coercion mechanisms on display on every live platform, the productification of ever micro famous celeb on livestream and microblogging. Voila, heres a story of luck, to retain the reach for a few more seconds in the moment.

Payment of attention within a market. Water is wet.
