I have gotten DMs like this from multiple artists within the last week. We have a problem with the vibes here. Discuss

Been waiting for this to crop up. I think I know what the problem is but I don't have a way to really explain it using short form text input. But basically we need to recreate connections and form an organic web of support instead of expecting everyone to bootstrap themselves into this abrasive hype driven culture.

Yeah, It has rapidly become hype-driven recently and thats definitely not a good thing

I had a similar issue the last time around which led to me dipping out. I'm learning. I'm growing. I am fucking unstoppable when I have conviction. I want to help people, as do you I feel, but we need to be VERY clear on things that are and are not conducive to delivering value TO artists.

The hype driving the build-as-devs culture is not entirely misplaced and it can be highly effective to attract a user base to launch. But artists have been gamed and extracted from since time. So let's fucking CHANGE that since we now apparently have the tools to do it for everybody else.

I'm feeling a concrete example of how this has impacted me personally, today, on warpcast. I see everybody else being welcomed in and shows of hospitality which feel increasingly transactional - but I struggle to get even a handful of likes from my following when posting genuinely and without a hint of hype.

But am I wrong or are they? I'm not "new" here but I feel every bit as invisible and ineffectual as on Xwitter. Which isn't to say I feel entitled to an audience. I know that with patience and heart I can build literally anything- but why does nobody seemingly want to build with me? Or help me build out my dreams?
