Of course, maybe that changes with waves of adoption when phone addicted people are left with nothing better to do next time twitter has an outage or rate limits, maybe not, time will tell. I have a day job, it pays well enough, I'm just happy to be able to interact with people on the front lines of decentralized code, like calle, fiatjaf, will and vitor. I can help people switch to graphene OS and Linux, sharpen peoples economic understanding, provide nuance to culturally conservative and anarchist views, and like memes that might make the platform more fun.

I've had the urge to be an influencer several times, I've had mild success on twitter a couple times in that regard, but its not worth the heartache and I fail to have a positive impact. I don't want to be reliant on social media for supporting me financially, so it doesn't make sense for me to engage in farming engagement if it just leaves me angry and tense.
