I was halfway through before taking a nap… That’s one of the most insightful perspectives on ‘making it’ as a creative I’ve geared in a long time.
An actual example of how internet leveled the playing field.
Reading back in soon!

I love this!!!! You’ll have to tell me your final thoughts when you read the whole thing. Kevin Kelly has the best ideas around creatives in tech.
Okay, I’m through!
I completely agree with the author that it’s never been easier to share one’s obscurities with the world and, with the advent of convenient payment solutions, earn a comfortable living doing so.
Although I would also agree that the social media/maintaining connections with even 1000 people is challenging and definitely not for everyone, I’m convinced that it’s gonna be easier for a single artist to get by with a single PR agent of their choice than to survive as a cog in an enterprise.
Though it requires skills different from solely artistic, the fact that you can actually survive as an artist in the current day and age is remarkable.
Gotta grind… Mindfully!
That’s the dream of nostr right? That you can get those 1000 true fans and monetize directly!! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏾🙏🏾
