thanks for this conversation, something I've been thinking about for a while... Substack being the next social media, when it really did not feel that way for a long time. Also relate to the jealousy and striving and I wonder if it's possible to get away from that, or if it's inenvitable if you engage with these platforms/the attention economy
Yeah, I almost feel scammed or something hahaha re: substack becoming a social media platform after not being one for a while.
I think the jealously and anxiety-fueled striving is inevitable to a certain extent and maybe the only way to get over those things is by going through them. But I'm currently trying to figure out what I want for myself and idk I think the noise of substack makes it so hard to sift through my desires, because I keep trying to "keep up". It does seem like everyone is going through this, trying to figure out how to cope + go on. <3
