I know it's not their fault and they have their own valid reasons for doing so but
man
It makes me a little sad whenever I talk to friends and they talk about things in terms of "this makes good content" "this doesn't make good content" "I know I like __ but content wise it's not great so I should do __"
idk, I think it's just bc they're looking at streaming/video making as something they'd like to do full time instead of doing their shitty day job hours, and I get it but it also makes me feel a little like..... I dunno
I guess a little bit sad?
A lot of my friends are creatives, they draw, they 3d model, they program things, make music, etc. I think it's really cool to see what everyone is up to. Hell I love streaming and watching my friends stream bc its kind of nice to see them gush about upcoming projects or ideas
but it also makes me feel sad that a lot of stuff is for he sake of "content" rather than bc "hey wouldn't it be cool if I did _"
Even some of the most creative ideas i've seen from my friends will sometimes still turn into "content", like, they'll have a really neat idea that I've never seen before and they'll end the basic idea of their project with "no one makes content like this, so that can by my thing" and im like
man I dunno
if you think it's cool you should just do it even if others do it already.
I dunno, I just want a world where my friends don't need to think of their ideas as only "content" or only worth doing if it can be used for "content" it's a little disheartening orrz
