[Adam Chen 陳信麟 @adamchenchew]

I’m getting very excited around the idea of content creation that is purely focused on joy of process and not on success metrics (reach, comments, virality, etc.)

I have an inkling that this is where things are heading in a broader sense.

Am I crazy?

[the tz @TransmediaZone]

@joshgonsalves_ the issue for creatives is their work being stolen to build tech companies, which is where AI becomes more accurate. It's the scraping without asking, attribution or payment structure. It's not a branding problem - it's a predatory business model issue.
