When I talk about making YouTube videos, people's eyes glaze over, and they basically wait for me to stop talking.
When I tell people I'm writing a book, they are very interested and ask me lots of questions about it.
Very different reactions.

yes, literally me for the last 12 years
This is Todd “Let’s Roll” Beamer, who died heroically while trying to retake United Flight 93 from Al Qaeda terrorists on 9/11. His final resting place, is in Cranbury, NJ — where he was living with his wife and children before his murder. Cranbury is located in NJ-12, where the new Democratic nominee for Congress is Adam Hamawy.
Hamawy was a close associate and translator to Omar Abdel-Rahman, aka the ‘Blind Sheikh,’ an arch terrorist convicted of masterminding multiple plots against targets in NYC — including the World Trade Center. Hamawy testified at Adbel-Rahman’s trial, as a defense witness.
It has also been reported that Hamawy traveled to Bosnia to volunteer at an organization that was later unmasked as an Al Qaeda front group.
One of Hamawy’s loudest and most high-profile supporters and endorsers has openly declared that America deserved the 9/11 attacks.
Hamawy is now the prohibitive frontrunner to represent Todd Beamer’s district in the United States Congress.
Hey @nikitabier, I miss the 'show me less of this person' option. I understand that monetization issues are most important right now, but there are many people whose work I do not value and do not want to see despite others spam-RT'ing them.
Occasionally? Sure. But much less.
Part of why this rift of understanding exists is that people know what it means to write a book. They themselves have written things.
Very few people have conceived of, produced, and published anything audio-visual. So, they don't quite know what it entails.
My neighbor used to take an electric mobility scooter 7 miles into town to go grocery shopping, on back roads and the county highway. Her boyfriend/husband (never figured it out) rode behind her on a bicycle.
The county sheriff eventually made her stop. I believe she died and the guy was arrested for forcible touching at his job.
