i really admire ur self discipline and awareness social media goes from fun to horrible so quickly and i get caught up in that everyday. i used to care a lot about how i came off on here and now im literally just posting whatever and its freeing! like who cares! i’m not a brand

yes!! i totaly agree with you, i also hate the "find your niche" and adhere to it. it just seems performative and kills the fun in writing when you are only thinking about how people are going to react to it.

i love this!!!! i relate so so much and i loved the ending. i also only have substack on my computer and it has made a huge difference. as soon as i start caring about algorithms and thinking of my work as "content" on any website, that's when i know it's time to take a step back.
