i'm pretty proud of the amount i did manage to write reviews for! they weren't long but i still think it's good practice for me
like do they not recognize the absurd irony in the fact that they're posting videos about how meaningless large social media platforms have become. on a large social media platform. LEAVE ME ALONE
you should not get to passively consume a labor of love is all i'm saying
yes! especially since a lot of people here left/renounced other forms of social media for various reasons. i get the gesture but there's a reason people choose to create and exist within the indie web, so to disregard that (by putting a site in one of these vids) without even asking before hand...cmon...
i feel a similar way. even when people are being nice, being in those videos makes me want to crawl under a rock. i saw that your site appeared via a link on mine, so i apologize!
girl-wonderlost – perfectly put, it just feels so odd. like a stranger wandering in with no real understanding of the etiquette or purpose. and ribose – not your fault no worries but very funny to me how you are like patient zero for these vids 😭
it is a creepy weird feeling though. i dont want to be in your videeooooo!!!!
it feels strangely voyeuristic sometimes like it's making a spectacle out of sites created Out of the desire to get out of social media making a spectacle out of everything 😭 i wanna give the benefit of the doubt but i fear it invites a lot of the 'doing things for the aesthetic and then getting bored of it 2 months later' type of crowd
that is such a good point. it feels like common courtesy to at least ask if people want to be featured?? I think it's interesting because surely the thought is "well who wouldn't want to get more exposure, and more followers?" which is a very conventional social media way to see it
I was somehow just thinking of this last night; that i *really* don't want to be put in a yt video lol. I've seen my site on Pinterest and Tiktok, but for some reason that doesn't bother me as much.
i have a fear that one day ill find my site in a video like that
