All this 'Practice' Of a system that's making supple and demand that's broken with a platform that refuses to add any curation. All part of the course with learning to be sceptical of performance metric advice.
It's like a carsoul, around and around. Status and green grasses behind, yet it's never that simple.
Performance metric advice, any craft. Is quickly populated and then left again.
It's called social, status, and affiliation are now gamed for interruption advertising, not craft media. Really is a sinkhole. Power scaling to metrics is imponderable and incomprehensible.
Laughter loops that take us. There's reason that those whose profession in amusement don't deserve respect from other professions. Since amusement cannot work within law, health and financing.
Such is a natural property of the communicative medium, the message of the medium won't be learned from a book rather than a cartoon TikTok
Clowning for the sake of clowning, cleverness for the sake of cleverness, buffoonery for the sake of buffoonery. Such a way that goes around and is the silly status roll that goes nowhere. The publishers and it's trail of SEO, of the status that follows the most and leads to nowhere.
If that idea leads to new ones, that so be it.
If there's no direction and only amusement, then that's a warning sign of the narrative at play.
Amusement ain't resistance, not the "need to laugh or you'll cry", it has character like the rest of it.
When copywriting/business negotiation, don't amuse and communicate.
What a show that will others believe they're owed entertainment. Owed amusement, owed kiddie pool play.
Such is a means that will never end, of large waves of attentions economies that will move in and out, with much whimsy.
Fame, Infamy, and Attention Economising. It all happens at once, performance metric hallucinations shake like winds. Commercial platforms yearn for it, long for it, and call for it.
"One of the worst things that can happen to an artist is becoming unintentionally famous on the internet. Nobody is in control of it, and when it occurs it’s a completely destructive force that endangers you and your work due to the nature of the majority of people online. The macrolevel behavior of social media is sick and twisted and directly/indirectly pursues the suffering and torment of others as entertainment Doesn’t seem to matter if you “embrace” momentary celebrity or not. It will punish you, hunt you, grift off you, and make up stories about you regardless. There is a sense of entitlement from the viewer that they are owed entertainment constantly from you. That all work you do is immediately “open source”, available to anyone, and ready to make a buck off of. Any rejection of this is considered elitist and antisocial, and the acceptance is considered “selling out”. You can’t win and in general, nobody I know that has had the spotlight thrown on them really wants that. We all know it’s horrible."
If you haven't already, you can look of Signifiers in documentary of the entertainment industry.
*Yet you are the product with the moment you engage with this platform
*Our User Interface will trace Interaction costs and lead you into the analytics designed to make you feel less status.
*Our ads will frustrate you with each preceding interaction like network television
*User Interface will frustrate with the desire to sell performance metrics with payola.
*Feel fomo or jomo within the popular IP/fandom crowds
*There are certain celebrity, influencers, content creators (not naming names ) That are as bad as the publishers they criticise. That reinforce the age of scepticism.
Forseeing the feedback loops and systems in place is what will be what I want.
SEO traction games happen all around use, even abstaining from a game is itself a play, sometimes going out the arena and into another to not use such arenas as intend.
It's not that simple when it comes to response rates, somebody is going to win the lottery, it ain't us.

As we've learned with Hawk Tauh and Kardashian's, simplification does not necessarily mean virality.
Episticimaly it's always a lottery. Seo guessing games.
I don't think I posted this here! Made it during the initial wave of "why do you all like him, he's just a cartoon" anti-hype when he first showed up.
Understanding Gummigoo.
Since virality and celebrity endorsements is what ontologically translates into profit for commercial publishers, there follow-the-leader reflects onto us. Axiology doesn't apply.
( Conversion and direct response and performance stats. Oh boy, round the merry-go-round. 🛋🎠🎵 )
New conceptualisation is going to have to be more difficult in the norms, because they're not established. Its still worth trying though. Creativity it is.
( I've tried my best to express my concepts here without comprising the literacy, oh ho ho, commercial concepts! 🛋⭐ )
