@bombsfall@mastodon.social that's kind of a sad thought in a way

since i don't often see a lot of activity from things i put places, i like to imagine that i would always respond to everything--and that it would always be cool to have peeps talk to about things

but eventually it stops being all that fulfilling, huh? like if you ate your favorite food every single day--i imagine eventually it would feel like a chore

diminishing gains suck, yo~

@thingywott @bombsfall feel like the interactions would quickly go from really meaningful chats with someone who really cares to having to listen to randoms rant and rave about your work as if you're not even real. After a while you'd just be doing it as routine, not because it feels good. Maybe I'm misreading.

@Yokai so basically, when the whole "hi! i really like this thing you did" turns into the only thing anyone knows about you, huh?

heck, that would be even less cool if the only reason someone wanted to talk to you was because they liked a thing you did once, and want to be acknowledged by the person who made it--no matter who that person might be

yeah, i can see how that would be dehumanizing--where you basically become a vessel for your work, and nothing more

oof, yeah, that sucks even more
