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

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.

"Why bother? My art doesn't look like that. I can't do that. I get one favorite per drawing. Guess it's not for me."

@tai7k That's another thing. The bar is just so much higher these days that I bet a lot of kids see amazing art and just fucking quit there.

@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.

@tai7k At that age, I think it's more that they feel they have to compete with adults for attention, so they just copy them. Unsuccessfully.

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 Obviously being rewarded for hard work is fine. It just disgusts me enough to dissuade anyone from getting into it to begin with.

@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.

@KangRoo No one will pay you for that hobby either. Promise you.

@KangRoo No one will pay you for your hobby. Maybe they will, but they won't.
