I feel like people don't talk about how for hobbies/learning, it's normal to touch the thing for a while, then bounce off for months to a year.

then come back again. and bounce off. and again.

IMO every time you internalize things a bit better and after 4-5 times THEN things start to stick

Want to fight back? Be less useful. Click less things, lower time on apps, do not give them feedback, regularly delete your data, read every privacy policy. These companies make billions off of idle scrolling - so never scroll idly again.
www.wheresyoured.at/what-were-fighting-for/

Another thing you can do is be less useful. If you use Instagram, use it in a way that generates less engagement. Click through a few stories then drop off the app, don't use the feed, avoid clicking or staying on any ads, and (as Geoffrey.
Fowler of the Washington Post recommends) reset your feed regularly. Delete the data that these companies have on you regularly. and any time a company asks you for feedback that isn't about a customer service rep, skip it or close your browser, as that data is only useful to them. In general, engage with apps less — both in the amount of time you spend on them and the amount you interact with their features — and obsessively read every_privacy policy.
These companies make billions off of idle, muscle-memory-based use of their software, so get used to their tricks, and work against them. And if you really don't use a service, stop using it. I will not, however, judge you for staying. I'm still on Instagram because it's where a lot of my friends are and I like seeing what they're up to. Again, I'm not against these products in principle. I just hate what they've become.
More importantly, I want you to find solidarity with others against the Rot Economy. Every single person you meet is a victim, every single person you meet faces similar problems to you, and every single person you know is likely angry at email spam, the collapse of social networks and Google, or the abominable state of modern business software.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.

Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

People out here like “Kanye’s music always sucked.” I am begging you to deeply internalize that terrible people are capable of making profound and incredible things.

If we cannot hold these conflicting truths, monsters will always be able to hide behind their talent

This is a search engine that only indexes websites that don’t use JavaScript which means all its results are gnarly old sites that are decades old. I love it.

I'm hearing people talk about making "safe author" lists/starter packs and hahahahaha holy shit that's a terrible idea. Just start drafting your "We had no idea" post now, because you're going to need it.
