And I don’t mean metaphorically tired, like physically tired. I feel like since Trump took office the amount of mental load consumed by his antics (edit: fascism in general) has physically worn me down. I used to have energy to exercise, do hobbies, or like even yardwork. Now all I want to do is lay in bed. I even have a hard time spending time with my family and friends. Luckily I am still engaged and productive at work, but that’s the only time I feel good which is not what I want out of life.
I probably should just up my antidepressants and log off
Ugh I’d rather get up at 3am and earn an honest living than churn out “content”
I feel like there used to be a bit of dignity with “content” production back when you’d basically run a long form channel that was equivalent to a TV show. There’s just something yucky about having to filter your craft through brain rot.
Yea, I could see the appeal of doing like a weekly/biweekly release of longer form videos, something one can put thought and effort into, but it seems like the current trend is short form shorts/tiktok style content which doesn’t appeal to me at all.
Plus if I saw a video I made spliced together with Minecraft parkour I’d have an aneurysm
I’m thinking like Alton Brown style “hey look at this cool thing” type videos. Those are totally different. I have noticed a lot of tiktok cooks/bakers starting to make long form videos again though. With the TikTok just being an ad essentially for the longer 10-15 cooking/baking video that actually shows you how to do something instead of something just being done.
