god the devart thing. my mind is as foggy as it usually is so i cant really express myself properly but its just like, blow after blow. you know how everything is monopolized, you can count the big websites where you can have an actual reach on your hands, and even then it still hits just as hard when theres another big news on how youre just another product being exploited
just like many things, when ai art was on its way to going viral i never thought of how the prompts were feeding their learning or how submitting your images even more so. i had a handful of posts tell me. just like a lot of every other ever-so-common shady internet practice out there. but its always too late until you realize they already got the best out of you
then its just back to the thoughts of wanting to shut yourself off from everything and then reminding yourself that data is practically immortal and that by being raised in a digital era you're very much already archived, bit by bit, on thousands of places, and everyone else around you that - of course - was also raised the same way still form a clear path to identify key information about you anyways.
naturally you get depressed and like hm oh well. im fucked. im gonna do something else and poof heres news about the one little site you still thought was ok, not the best, but that still has the same profit reason any other does and by the time you finish reading the title youre already back down to the dirt again
#couldnt help but cry writing this theres just so much beyond our control and just knwoing theres a way out but also knowing you cant perfor#perform it i just want to destroy everyything at this point#the situation of the current digital age is also almost exactly the same as being disabled#(refer to the 'knowing the solution but cant solve it anyways' paragraph)#its barely an atom away from home now. oh you depend on people financially and physically? wait until you depend on billion dollar companie#its too much to handle i cant do anything but block it out of my memory at this point#being like lol ill move to neocities and be a hermit teehee! while i fucking crumble inside knowing that as long as i depend on a third par#party it can be taken away at any second with no regard to any of the thousands of toothpick pillars (users) that held it up#i tried mastodon when it was still a cool little thing talked about in foss software circles for not being like twitter#and it was just so empty. barely anything enjoyable or anyone to enjoy it anyways#i had a taste of what its like (sorta) staying on the web version of an isolated cave pool and it sucked#*insert the picture that says 'ooh i get it now. the suffering is eternal' here*#dextxt
