Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout
Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 5 days agoWhere did I say that social media creates no value whatsoever? I’m just saying that without those who work in physical reality, creating tangibles with tangible things, make the mental edifices possible.
Also, you didn’t choose to share your profession with us. It makes me think that you’re attempting to create a social media presence of your own. Trust me, it’s pointless. I had a facebook fan page with 150-175 people on it. All foolish vanity, nothing more.
To win the acclaim of the mob is what the worst of us amongst human beings do. Do you want to be a politician in terms of expression?

Either that or I don’t think value is only subjective to what you do for a living. That my opinion is somehow less valuable because I don’t fall into a specific field you perceive as valuable.
And often those non-tangible things help to give those who make the tangible things the willpower to go on. It’s not a one way street, where value is only created by those who create tangible goods and stolen by the intangible. That’s a very pessimistic, if not “holier-than-thou” perspective. As though anyone who doesn’t do what you respect isn’t worth as much as someone who does.
Like I said, a very boomer attitude.

What business is it of yours who I voted for? I even voted for Musk, so what?

You’re not the best troll, but practice makes perfect. Keep it up!

As Mark Twain would attest to, I voted for the used diaper.
