- Comment on Stop Killing Games reaches its goal of 1.4M signatures, covering the risk of valid signatures going under 1M 5 days ago:
The whole Gaza situation is a wasp’s nest that nobody should poke without knowing damn sure what they are doing. There are multiple big players playing chess with other people’s life there, and you could lose a lot.
But given the complexity the chance that the situation is resolved and thus something is won is very small.
Yes, it’s terrible what is happening. But unless you have a lot of resources and a big army you are not in a position to muscle all the parties involved into submission, which is what will be required at this point.

- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 2 weeks ago:
Funny. I follow some creators, but if they don’t post I’ll just check back later, and the content will still be relevant.
If your followers just leave you if you don’t post, your content is probably shallow and doesn’t really add much value to the world.
The algorithm is also fucked, but you use it to your advantage when you can, so can you really complain about the downside? This is what you choose to work with.
That being said, making good content is hard and really time consuming. So I get that there is stress.
But I believe if you make good solid content that suits you and your style, you don’t need to get into a pissing contest with the algorithm. Upload when you want, make what you want and you will attract viewers. They are out there, and they will find you through searching.
