@ARok I remember when YT had that silly little partner program that only let the biggest creators in. Those were quality times.

Most things promoted by the Chinese government are literal sin. Happens when you let serial human rights abusers have nukes.

@Quentin To be clear musical.ly was founded in China. The app has always been annoying Chinese garbage, now it's socially toxic as well!

@griffen4 Sorry we're saying things other than "I WILL RULE THE WORLD TODAY" over and over.

@tai7k Death to irony! The internet stopped being fun because dorks stopped wanting to HAVE fun, because that's cringe or something now.

Speaking of doodling anime girls, here's an old art piece I'd like to share; http://revontulet.org/2023/…

@mariteaux And they try to hide that by saying "uh, no, I just like this 'cringe' thing IRONICALLY!"

Doodling crappy anime girls and cool looking fantasy swords is still fuckin' fun though sometimes, I won't lie.

I love how many people go "cringe culture is dead!!!" and are still deathly afraid of being called cringe. Tiny baby men, sorry to say.

@tai7k I feel bad. I feel like the best artists come from being 14 and drawing awful Pokemon and Neopets because you adore it. That's gone.

If you create an internet about ad revenue, clicks, making a living--CO-OPTING HOBBIES WITH MONEY--kids will copy that. And it's your fault.

I think everyone else is looking down on the kids, so I'll say one other thing. Kids are impressionable. They copy bad environments.

@mariteaux And that's perfectly fine! I still think it's absurd that anyone gets into art TO make money and not because they love art.

Other caveats: am not a commie pinko loser. Money is great. I am a full-throated capitalist. The arts are a personal pursuit though.

@tai7k Yes! They can barely draw dogs and they're already worried they don't have an audience and no one likes them. Thanks, money!

Creators need time to incubate. Meanwhile, I've seen firsthand little kids who want to become famous let's players at age 10. It's joyless.

@tai7k We have probably lost thousands of teenagers to the hole of trying to gain an audience for their art and doing commissions at 14.
