"But back then, content was rare. If someone had a blog, it was exceptional. If someone wrote online regularly and shared their thoughts with dozens of others, it was remarkable. We all commented and responded, then reacted with our own thoughts. And we had a blast doing it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was enjoyable. I don’t think any of us would have described that experience as stressful or anxiety producing. Contrast that with the so-called “creator economy” which continues to emerge. Musicians and authors are often sharing their discomfort with having to stay at the top of the feed, feeling the need to keep producing average work so that they don’t get forgotten and don’t go broke. Nowadays, content is not novel; it is assumed." a good nostalgic essay by jeff goins about doing internet for fun https://jeffgoins.substack.com/p/unpopular-opinion-the-internet-is

At the start of my career, I had a blog for design and a blog for music. I was constantly posting about the things I found most interesting and took time to format images to be uniform and so on. One of my design posts got a "h/t" from Yanko Design and I was super excited about that. "Content" has become a beast that everyone is both hungry for and sick of.

it's bc the content now is made to be empty but addictive (╥_╥) with the blog on my homepage now, i've been enjoying a revived feeling of just writing and not worrying if it's even being read by anyone. i think we put a lot of pressure on online performance these days and it's killing everyone
