I'm not a Reply Guy
+++
My mute list on X stopped working. I still received posts with the words I'd muted in my feed, so I unmuted everything.
Trying to control it feels futile.
I think I will be extremely picky about my time there, who I interact with, etc.
I'm not a reply guy, though.
There are several things I could say in many large or popular posts or conversations that would increase my views and get me to qualified subscriber levels.
But I don't engage in those things in my daily life. I'm not a person who plays into insults or tears others down.
There's literally zero net positive return for doing that.
And for what?
Dollars?
Dollars if the corporation says so?
I can negotiate an agreed-upon work arrangement for that (client work on my own or a standard job).
People are more invested in you personally when they pay for something. I want to stay true to myself and my morals and still get paid for my stories.
I have yet to share a lot of stories here.
I have shared a little in my "newsletter" at The Stealthy Scribbler Society. Health issues last fall prevented it, and my energy levels haven't been the same since.
It feels like I can only do three things at once rather than ten or more. That's frustrating. I can't tell if that's just how I feel today or if it's more of a negative belief system.
To preserve that energy, I cannot go around being—I dunno—less than what I am as a person to get views.
I just can't do it.
Can I strategically network and get clients? Absolutely. I have no problem with that. None. I'll have an income.
I have to finish a few delayed things. The delays were out of my control. Those things must be finished.
I don't know why I'm writing all this here today.
