On a different note of amusement.
An acquaintance is super excited that I'm posting BookTubes again, because he feels this is an area where he can provide unsolicited feedback re: how I stage myself, mostly based on his love for a range of YT pundits.
I'm long past getting insulted by unsolicited advice, but it is amusing to hear his suggestions that I focus on performance gimmicks and his hints at makeup (absolutely not), when I'm plainly working on developing consistently thoughtful content.
Unsolicited advice is weird, @MLClark
It REALLY is!
But also - why let the person giving it live rent-free in my head? Being insulted by it just means letting them take up even more of my precious time and energy than their original comment already did. π
It's like a poorly-veiled 'humble brag' @MLClark
"Because I'm a self-proclaimed expert at this, let me share my knowledge with you, and show you what a genius I am!" π
