Just actually fucking fed up of "social" media in general tbh. Why do I subject myself to this shit?

Is it just me or is there a hell of a push towards trying to validate 'nepo babies'?
"the 1% is good and fine actually"
Ahuh. Sure.

Makes the 80k people boast even funnier tbh. Out of those 80k who came to the album launch? 😅

When I changed phone I noticed that there's no longer the lovely, handy screen snip tool. Instead there's "AI select" which, frankly sucks. I now have to screencap and crop (and I can't get circles anymore).

Art should be accessible, not challenging! (!)

Is it paranoid or ahead of the game to want to pull away from sharing art online and letting the bots just fucking eat themselves? 'meatspace' art supremacy

I can't even remember the last time I looked at a stadium show and thought "yeah, that's worth spending over a hundred quid"
Maybe for some people, but not me.

Blocked about a billion of these shite profiles on our band socials about a year ago.

After a short period of quiet, the algorithm decided what I really needed was some utter tripe again.

Almost like there's a new subscription service coming soon where you can get a better version for money? Naaah

Next release art is coming along nicely, where are we at with the music?
*Stares at folder of incomplete demos*
Ah. Yeah. Probably ought to do something about that.

I'd rather fail a project with my own work than fail with trash AI and get done in for plagiarism.

Staying motivated feels so pointless.

Oh you're in a band? You know it's short for Bandrew right?

I think we need a new term for enshittification, because somehow things which are already shit are becoming shitter? And I don't think the term does enough??
