Jack Phoenix: comics librarianDec 29, 2022
I really feel for the artists, writers, and other creative types who have spent much time amassing a following on #twitter
It would be easy for me to say that the morally right correct thing is to leave Twitter so it doesn’t benefit the muskrat and that doing the right thing is more important than followers, but I don’t have a lot of skin in that game

It depresses the hell out of me that a following has become a de facto currency.

It's precisely this desperation for likes and other kinds of online approval that has created the populist, lowest-common-denominator "say and do anything for clicks" cess-pit that is so much of social media today.

It creates and enables Andrew Tates.
