Tricky Trails

Making things shouldn't merely be a means to an end. It ought to be an end in itself.

Artwork and effort has inherent value. Who cares if it's not popular? I don't make what I make for that purpose. I make what I want to make because I want to make it. I do not care if no one else cares about Roasted Meatloaf, Jelly the Not-Fish, Yellowshirt Lore, Cilerion, or any of the other things I do. I will make them anyways for as long as I wish to.

This is not to say that becoming popular doesn't have benefits. It might be helpful in terms of my Patreon (haha shameless self-promo) and stuff. Regardless, it ultimately doesn't matter whether I am "successful" or not. Making things is my main goal here and on other such platforms, and in that I am successful. Everything else is just a potential bonus.

This is why I do not do subscriber milestone specials. There's not anything inherently wrong with them, and you're not selfish or anything if you do them, but I prefer not to draw attention to my "success". I appreciate everyone who subscribes to me (and even people who don't), and I don't intend to communicate otherwise. However, it is not my Prime Directive to become "popular" or "famous". It is my goal to post what I'm going to post and do what I'm going to do.

I say all this in regards to modern mentalities towards content creation. Both here or elsewhere, there are content farms and attention-seekers. They don't value their work as much as they do getting some kind of reward or special acknowledgement. They seem to view their content as merely a way to get themselves somewhere. Whether they're interested in popularity, money, someone to hook up with, a combination of some or all of those things, or something else I didn't mention, they see that as more important than their actual work. They aren't so much artists as they are merely producers.

Money and popularity aren't bad things, but ultimately the value of your work itself is more important than either of them. Money will eventually be used up, whether from purchases or required debts. Popularity is temporary and ultimately relative to begin with. You may have hundreds or thousands of subscribers/followers, but how many of those people actually interact with you or your content on a regular basis? How many of them are even active at all?

If you're making money off your work, that's great. If you've gained a large fanbase, that's also great. If you managed to wow some special someone with what you do, that's awesome. But when all of that potentially goes away, what do you have left? You ought to know the value of what you've been able to do, whether it was fruitful or not, because one day that may be all that remains.

Spoopy time >:) Just grays and all monochromatic, No color :p
