I'm beginning to wonder if, for my mental health, I should not look at YT videos from content creators whose content closely resembles mine. Granted, I'm in an extremely niche topic, but that just means the other folks are HIGHLY visible.

My stuff doesn't duplicate theirs, but they are PROLIFIC. A video a week, and they're long and they have a studio and and and. (and a lot more subs than I do).

I'll succeed on quality, yeah, that's the ticket.

Haven't even *lurked* on Twitter in over a week now. There are a lot of people who have ended up here (a little bit) and at bsky (a little bit). Really do miss seeing some folks who haven't made the leap away yet. #navelgazing

@dmnelson Fair; and I’m doubtless guilty of it more than I care to admit. Still: #NavelGazing.

I think that the trick is to line up the cocaine on the breasts & avoid the middle section.

@gnosticdaemon Aside, as you say, the people who control media outright by owning it, I've noticed that what drives the media is simply conflict. And anything that is based on ad-driven revenue will eventually sell you story rather than information. And many things like that feel like a conspiracy when they're really just an inevitable consequence. And I guess that is a fundamental indictment of capitalism. #USPOL #NavelGazing

That thing when you're waiting on a call/email but only get spam is getting on my nerves kinda extra today. #NavelGazing

RE THE #TwitterMigration

"To the Twitter people it feels like a confusing new world, whilst they mourn their old life on Twitter. They call themselves "refugees", but to the Mastodon locals it feels like a busload of Kontiki tourists just arrived, blundering around yelling at each other and complaining that they don't know how to order room service. We also mourn the world we're losing." @shug

This raspberry (and some other bougie fruit I can't remember right now) tea tastes just like making raspberry jam smells. On a November night that's trying to impersonate summer (18C at 18h30), it's kinda confusing, tbh... #NavelGazing.

@noyovo I’m genuinely not sure, but it seems likely, going by the frameworks of their #navelgazing posts:
