I really do want creators and makers to get paid, but I also really miss the era of the internet when people built and shared stuff for the absolute joy of it all.

weird internet kid. word rotator. yapping on /okbanger. playing with @wannanaplabs. curating in /cameron | dev + vet + HBS.

It’s like the archetypical artist hero’s journey story. 

You have a gift, you get discovered and start winning then you get corrupted by money/fame, and then end up back at the start doing it for the love of the game. 

Except the entire system has been optimized around artists never actually making money so they have to chase it harder and harder lmao

I feel this post 

I am all about creating for the love of the game but I’m fully for getting paid these days 

I did A LOT of making for nobody and no scratch. I loved it but eventually it started to wear on me. 

After meeting you I realized how passionate you are about creators and bet you feel the same

Software engineer, music maker, creator.

Possibly a dog irl

YOUR ATTENTION WILL BE COMMODIFIED AND SOLD, THANK YOU. 

I hate it. No one is real. Everyone is trying to convince you to pump their shitty bags.

based on how high platform margins are i'd say this is still the case lmaooo

remember when the internet was a digital playground, not a paycheck?

the best builders dance between both worlds. sustainable economics enable pure creation, but the moment money becomes the only driver, the magic fades
