I'm the pottery/ceramics world we have the debate all the time about if pottery is a craft or art. Personally I think it's a art that can be functional.

Me, who edits comments over and over until I believe they convey my message correctly.
You, who didn't even double check that your fingers were on the home row, but submitted the comment, regardless.
That feeling after your 4th edit, when the story you wrote out finally flows cleanly and doesn’t have any snags that will spur an internet argument, then you hit cancel and move on without posting it.
Typing out the comment then delete it is therapeutic, but without the traumatisation of getting piled on.
After my Reddit ban now I'm really cautious what I post anywhere. I'm traumatized
For me it was Discord. Entered a server, was all cool, but people there had the weird habit of making bots and saying "hey that's my alter" (no, "Hawk Two" as in Two from BFDI riding a hawk is not your alter ego no way). I tried to say those jokes weren't funny, guess what? Got doxxed.

I mean, the name "creator" is apt. They create bullshit videos out of anything.
Doesn't mean it's good

I've never listened to a podcast like that. It sounds like low effort reality TV style content.
Others are not you
Impossible.
Don't listen to that guy, I'm definitely you.
Thanks other me. I know me when I see me.

"what if nobody wants to listen to it??"
Does not matter bro. Create. Be free
When I did webcomics I was worried nobody would think they were funny or had some reservations about public opinions.
Then I watched some documentary on comic artists, including Calvin & Hobbe’s Bill Watterson, and he said something like “I just make something I think is funny, and if my wife also thinks it’s funny that’s a bonus, and everyone else can think whatever they want to think, but I’m happy with it, and that’s all I really cared about.”
And that was enough for me to get into it.
Make it for you first. Everyone else is a bonus.

I made released an album last year, spent the previous year working on it. Probably about 100 listens so far, across all the tracks, but it's fine 🥲 I've been using it like a demo, taking some of the songs to my new band, so they can hear what I had in my head!

low common denominator content attracts the low common denominator
I average 6 listeners a month on streaming platforms lol. But hey, that’s better than 0. And I do it for the love of music first and foremost.
