I’m the pottery/ceramics world we have the debate all the time about if pottery is a craft or art. Personally I think it’s a art that can be functional.
Ngl this is such a hilarious post haha 🤣
We are all working class
I mean, the name “creator” is apt. They create bullshit videos out of anything.
Doesn’t mean it’s good
you guys have slow cashiers??? (used to german supermarkets)
Some artists are more like “I don’t care if anyone hears it,” or even “They don’t deserve my art.”
But that’s mostly the artists who suck.
I’ve never listened to a podcast like that. It sounds like low effort reality TV style content.
Me either but I do get ads for them plugged into the podcast I do listen to. I guess I appreciate those idiots paying for the content I do listen to, all it costs me is hitting skip 30s 4-5 times.
Others are not you
Impossible.
Don’t listen to that guy, I’m definitely you.
Thanks other me. I know me when I see me.
This meme has always felt like it came from another universe.
In a world where yapping podcasts aimed at men are derided, this is the one meme that portrays them in a positive light.
I just need one more guitar pedal and the world will be ready.
looks behind him at his guitar corner
Am I out of touch and maybe I have enough already? … no its the
childrenlisteners who are wrong!How many pedals do you play shows with?
Depends how many power sockets are available.
yes
whats that? no i dont know how to play yet
I had a former coworker who started on a proper Martin. Made me sick. Money definitely doesn’t buy talent.
There’s a famous actor guy who got into pottery and even though his stuff is meh all of a sudden he’s an ceramic expert and is mass producing his designs. Kinda pisses me off that those of us who are not already famous have to work 20xs harder to get out stuff out in the world and he just gets a pass because he’s an actor.
I made released an album last year, spent the previous year working on it. Probably about 100 listens so far, across all the tracks, but it’s fine 🥲 I’ve been using it like a demo, taking some of the songs to my new band, so they can hear what I had in my head!
Link?

Or if Bandcamp’s not your bag, I also put them on YouTube, just look up “Jimmy Halliday”!
Saved for a listen when I am home.
No foolin’, that was great. My girlfriend liked it too!
Fuck yes! That’s going straight into the playlist!
Hell yeah! Thanks, dude! Same!

Interactions like these are why I love the comment section. It’s great when a post ends up being a vehicle for conversation
“Came for the meme, stayed for the comments”
Me, who edits comments over and over until I believe they convey my message correctly.
You, who didn’t even double check that your fingers were on the home row, but submitted the comment, regardless.
That feeling after your 4th edit, when the story you wrote out finally flows cleanly and doesn’t have any snags that will spur an internet argument, then you hit cancel and move on without posting it.
Typing out the comment then delete it is therapeutic, but without the traumatisation of getting piled on.
After my Reddit ban now I’m really cautious what I post anywhere. I’m traumatized

TBF the home row wouldn’t matter. There’s enough food stuck between the keys that what you press isn’t what you get anyway.
shit that’s where my gummi bears went thanks

I love that type of editor! It’s called Ai.
Forgot about home row, they tried to teach me to type their way but I didnt like that
Now I type faster than most but thats not saying much
However I look at the keyboard only, instead of the screen only like they tried to teach
My way I can move my fingers as fast as possible and i’m accurate, I know what key I hit so I know what it says on the screen without looking
try Dvorak
Isn’t that just keys in different places. How does that help long term?
Haven’t tried it personally, but from what I know it’s supposed to fix some of QWERTY’s pitfalls. QWERTY was originally made for typewriters and has some things in mind to avoid jamming (i.e. placing letters that appear next to each other in words far from each other on the keyboard). Modern keyboards don’t have those mechanical limitations any more; from what I know DVORAK and other alternative layouts try to optimise things by placing most used letters on the home row and alternating between hands, but now have to overcome the fact that maybe 99% of people are used to QWERTY.
I have that habit. Then I get really angry replies where people accuses me of stealth editing posts.
I usually edit several times to avoid typos but when I edit to correct my comment because I was told I was wrong and they were right, I usually cross the old text so poorly know I was wrong and the other comments don’t seem crazy or me disingenuous.
some stupid thing or lacking proper contextnah I was wrong.He’s like worse than Hitler.
Nice stealth edit bro…
…edits comments over and over - and often after posting them.
I mean like if that’s what happens then like whatever it is is what it is like if I don’t feel like finishing my thought what are you gonna do about it it’s just really whatever you know?
mcmcjjg xgeogm ribre!!!
“what if nobody wants to listen to it??”
Does not matter bro. Create. Be free
When I did webcomics I was worried nobody would think they were funny or had some reservations about public opinions.
Then I watched some documentary on comic artists, including Calvin & Hobbe’s Bill Watterson, and he said something like “I just make something I think is funny, and if my wife also thinks it’s funny that’s a bonus, and everyone else can think whatever they want to think, but I’m happy with it, and that’s all I really cared about.”
And that was enough for me to get into it.
Make it for you first. Everyone else is a bonus.
That’s how I feel about my constant jokes, i’m airways making myself laugh
It’s a very fulfilling way to live
For real, there’s dickbags pushing a button so AI can shit out songs that no one but themselves will listen to, patting themselves on the back as artists. Let’s never be afraid to put our art out there, spread it, play it live. People need to know what human creativity feels like.
Edit: This may have been more about AI than I wanted it to be.
I average 6 listeners a month on streaming platforms lol. But hey, that’s better than 0. And I do it for the love of music first and foremost.
could you share a link?
Thanks for the interest! Here’s my music, with genre tags since I do multiple genres: https://linktr.ee/secondstagenavigator
Could be worse!
I’ve got 14 million listens over four years on Distrokid, and that just about covered the cost of four years with Distrokid. On their most minimal plan.
Good thing I am also in it for the music.
The economics of streaming are fucked up. Major labels get 80–88% of standard recording streams and physical sales.
Yeah, I’m in the process of putting everything on Bandcamp. If I’m not going to be making any money, might as well not be spending the little I do.
I know right? I have around 60k total streams in 5 years, and I earned around $300 so far. I use a free distributor (who takes a 15%) cut though. I figured I’m not earning much anyway, so I don’t really mind them getting a cut if I get unlimited uploads without a fee.
That sounds alright. I should probably find something similar and stop feeding the machine…
What genre?
I do different genres, but recently been releasing industrial metal.
Jazz
In my personal experience…nobody wants to listen to it😞
But it’s ok! I am my biggest fan😋
I make an “I will listen to your song” post in my group every now and then. Or you can just post it in the group. It’s mostly just me posting there. Could use more people :)
Ha! I’ve replied to 2 of those!🤘
Checked out your posts from 7 months ago, and imma be listening to the whole playlist tomorrow at work. Just to prove a point (and because it honestly ain’t bad from the first few mins I’ve heard)
Hell yeah! I hope you like it!🤘
I’m my own best friend! - Barf the Mog; half man, half dog
Me, surrounded by music gear.
I have thousands worth of random modular, sequencers, groove boxes, software synths… It’s endless. I sold a ton the last few years. I own 5 guitars for “different purposes”. I have a Tracker Mini on the way tomorrow.
I’ve never produced a single thing I’d want to share with anyone. But I have fun making bleep bloops and that’s what I remember when I start to feel bad about it. I just wanna live in a musical spaceship and that’s ok until it’s not, so let’s just make cool sounds and not worry about it. 🤷♂️
I am you but replace Tracker Mini with Dirtywave M8.
I just built a headless M8. I sold mine last year lol.
oh shit
i hate that bro
Your music gear: “Stop! You’re surrounded! Put your hands in the air like you just don’t care!”
Yeah, I’m kinda feeling personally attacked by this
oh shit
I hate that bro
