one of more evil aspects of the cyberpunk we currently live in is total encouragement of monetizing literally everything: monetize your hobby, monetize your cooking, monetize your eating, monetize yourself being annoying and pissing people off, monetize your children and cats! you don't monetize? - well you're just being unproductive and wasting time then :/
surely you're able to remember one or two internet personas who are literally killing themselves for clout and money
@tomie
Absolutely 100% agree.
Especially with dumb shit like cosplay. If you meet a person who monetized their hobby, you can no longer tell, where their hobby ends, and marketing for selling shit begins.
This is how I know, I feel rich. Because outside of my job, I don't fucking care to monetize my time.
@LukeAlmighty and of course nobody talks about literal millions who tried and failed and ended up only worse, because they never do in the same way they don't talk about the necessity of having rich parents in order to be a garage startup turned billionaire
