It's been a minute; 5781600 or thereabouts. I'm increasingly disillusioned with social media for casual folks such as myself. More and more, it is a business for the platforms to serve ads and the big creators to grab a piece of that pie.
Maybe it has always been this way, and I'm just now understanding it.
They feed you all these metrics such as views, likes, click-through-rate, etc to drive you to create more marketable content and persist a feeling of inadequacy. If creating is your business, that's fine, but for personal projects, it is hugely distracting. Hence bring back blogging. No metrics, no virality, no pressure. Simply posting thoughts for my own value and historic record.
