This: I long for the days when we used to write something and never knew for sure how it affected the reader. Comments killed off that culture.
I come from writing via the blogging world where there were always comments from day one, so I don't know what that feels like. I guess it would be similar to art where we didn't compare ourselves with the whole world or whatever our follower count is. Our circle of influencers (😬) and audiences used to be small. The world was a lot smaller pre-internet. That wasn't such a bad thing.
i'm with you brother, but our analog, 21st century, have something to say before you say it sensibility don't play is digital peoria. the gate keepers had a purpose maybe and now we are left to sort through squawking. words by the ton. i dig the tarnished pennies ethos. say on my description that my stack is piggy bank to hold my dirty pennies. must be some old man/little kid Kool aid we both drank.
I am content 🤪
