Being a content creator, socially speaking, is essentially being an artist, whether you're writing, sharing visual art, music, or whatever, and artists are always treated like we don't deserve shit for our work. Like we can buy groceries in "exposure."

And yet, companies like FB and YouTube/Google make billions off our content and data. And they wouldn't exist without us - whether we're shitposting or memesharing or just bitching about our day or sharing photos of our cats, OR creating intricate, amazing content that took hours of work if not longer.
I don't know how any investors imagine we're going to onboard the masses if once they get here, they're told that they don't social media well enough, or whatever. Isn't the investment doing well somewhat predicated on mass adoption? Or am I missing something?
Ah, well. I'll just keep tinkering in my corner, doing my thing, hanging out with good people, and trying to make the world a better place. The investors can pass around their drama tokens every time someone writes a line of code, or discusses writing a line of code, or argues about code already written. I can't control that any more than I can control the tide. As long as the blockchain is still working, I'll probably be here. I am quite used to the world telling me I am worthless. I'm just trying to survive it until I can finally escape it.
