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.

Money sucks the joy out of every single hobby. It sucked it out of the internet, it sucked it out of gaming, and it sucked it out of art.

My opinions on hobbies being turned into ways to make money are too long winded to get into here, but uh, in short, fuck that. I despise it.

But no I'm on a sabbatical from drinking to reduce my tolerance and dependency on it a bit and it suuuuuucks working around alcohol all day.

Mastered the Tetrix DX GBC set on RetroAchievements, having started it over a year ago and thinking I'd never master it. How's your night?

Honestly, be like Jake. He just shows up to work on the site and post about eating bagels. I dig that.

Incredibly new territory, thinner lines, proper eyes, outfit design, still unsure how I feel about it, but I think I like it.

It was all hobbies is my point. If you wanted to remake 2009 Twitter, you'd post about stuff you love, not that you're on 2009 Twitter.

Do you people have any hobbies outside of larping as 2009 Twitter users? Lives? Things you're up to? Goddamn.

@ARok I use QuiteRSS for feeds and YouTube subscriptions. It's about the only good, actively-developed native Windows RSS reader.
