One of my concerns is becoming too people pleasing though with content and detracting from genuine self expression. I think there's a balance there I guess but I would never want to have to create music or art just because it's what the people want.

Perhaps that's just me insisting on staying true to what naturally comes as creative expression, and perhaps that's why my thoughts, viewpoints, music, and creative endeavors have never really gained much traction lol. IDK.

When it comes to ideas though, I do find people talking about the same things that do gain audience though so it might just be luck of the draw or better packaging.

That said I don't really worry about it as long as the ideas get out there eventually lol.

Good thoughts though!
