I guess this is the first post ever on this website. Aside from the obligatory 'hello world' that everyone writes, what else do I want to over why they created the website, their goals, what they plan on doing, and since I'm such a creative genius, I'll copy that format exactly. As you can tell, this website's gonna be full of totally non-generic, trying too hard to be quirky, cutting edge, avant-garde, new and improved, buzzword choked, innovative-buisiness-disrupting-hyperefficient-600%-APRonceinalifetimeBUY-NOW-GET-ONE-FREE content. I'm sure that you can tell that I don't really have a plan for this website, in fact I'm 99%, no, 97% sure that most of the stuff I post is going to be low quality shitpost equivalent stuff. But hey, if you wanna stick around for the giggling shits, be my guest. I love getting external validation on the internet! (except you can't comment on this page because I don't understand how javascript works)
I'm sure most people have heard of enshitification by now. If you haven't, congrats, you probably aren't on the internet 24/7! (and if that is true, how on earth did you manage to find this anti-SEO optimized website among all the other shit?) Enshitification means that companies have gradually made their products more and more, well, shit. Besides physical things being lower quality and constantly breaking, there's also the shittiness of modern content. Actually that statements a lie, there's still banger content around, it's just content that's even slightly worth our time to watch is buried underneath a mountain of shit, most of which can be directly attributed to AI. Which brings me to the thesis and guiding principal of this channel. If you're gonna consume shit, might as well make it human shit.
Well...Maybe not the guiding principal. Now you might have noticed that I'm no wordsmith by any means and the sheer amount of times I've used the word shit probably flags this website as a scatalogical fetish site to Google (which if that's why you're here, I'm sorry to disappoint). This website will be shit and I'm willing to admit that, but is there really that much of a difference between this or a polished shiny turd? If it's all slop anyways, I'd much rather connect with a human in the process instead of a poorly diguised Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship. Consume. Human. Shit.
Time to drop that metaphor. (speaking of, is it a metaphor? or is it just bad writing? clearly English class didn't teach me enough)
Digital nomads. Passive income. Passport bros. I'm sure some aspect of those hustle-grindset bros (and gals) has wormed itself into my unconsenting subconcious self and now I feel the sudden urge give out unasked for financial advice and sell a course. Now I'd actually have to be tripping hard to believe that this website's ever going to make money. However, I do think that having an online portfolio would be at least somewhat good for my non-existent professional life.
A part of me wants to share stuff with the world. Or should I say void? There's something comforting knowing that this website will likely never be shown on the first 20 pages of Google. I suppose I just want to hide inside obscurity. At the very least, it gives me the confidence to post my projects without that intense feeling of judgement. Going back to my goals, I want to just post some stuff on the internet and to show off a little bit. Even if it feels like my thoughts are being swallowed whole by the bottomless gut of some long snake (I need to work on my metaphors), the action itself is theraputic. There's just something comforting about screaming into the void because you know the void will never scream back.
Aside from posting my projects and inane rambling, I also think that this is my chance to revolt against the increasingly hostile internet. While everything becomes dominated by search engines and alogrithms, I just feel an intense dread as we march forwards into a monolithic internet where some remote supercomputer controls your entire social network, feed, and everything you see. Now I'd like to say this next part came to me in a dream and I'm some messiah or something, but alas it came from a Youtube video that was algorithmically recommended to me. The video was exploring old websites and at the bottom of one of the sites there was a collection of buttons that linked to the website creator's friends. It was such a novel idea to me at the time. Instead of the almighty alogrithm deciding everything I should look at, I could use my friends as slave labor, and force them to pan for gold in the streams of the internet. Machine recommendations could be replaced by human suggestions. That's why I'm strongarming my friends into setting their own websites so I can link to them and carve out our own niche part of the internet.
Rant aside, here's a briefer outline of where I plan on taking this website (this is mostly for me not you, you stalker):
Having finish my daily rant, I'd just like to warn you one final time. This website will be fickle. It's probably gonna only get updated when I feel extremely bored and/or want to rant about something. Chances are I'll get bored of this within a week tops and end up doing something else so I wouldn't stick around if I were you. But hey, maybe that's the secret to longevity. Maybe our desire for good content, for reliable, weekly content is what got us into this place in the first place. To force someone to be creative is like trying to pet a cat. The more you reek of desperation, the less it'll come to you. Creativity isn't a tap that can just be wedged open, unlike the unending torrent of slop from the AI bot farms. So if you are interested in anything I had to say, stick around. Who knows, maybe you'll just randomly remember this site at 3 AM and give it a check. Visit whenever you want. Not like I'm getting ad revenue or anything.
All that being said, I do want to set up RSS ASAP so you'll actually know I didn't abondon this project 3 days into starting it.
