    creation for the sake of creation or expression

    This is essentially what’s been missing from the modern Internet. I know ive grown up and my sensibilities have changed, but in the “good old days” before content was monetised, and before influencer content creator we’re actual careers, people made stuff because they enjoyed doing it. Nowadays everything feels forced.

    Its not a hobby its a hustle. Its not fun its a grind. You dont create for creations sake, you trendhop to pay rent. You dont express yourself, you try to appease the algorithm.

    AI is truly cranking the dial past 11 and ripping the knob off, but it went way past fun years ago.
