Curation isn't a vibe. It's a practice.

Here's the thing that should terrify every creative person reading this: We're entering an era where AI can produce perfectly polished, aesthetically flawless work in seconds. The only thing that will matter soon is being real, honest, original. Raw and real is the future, my friends. And you cannot be original if your inputs are identical to 8 billion other people's inputs.

This feels a bit like a rehash of "just be authentic on the internet and you'll have followers."

I find this sus. I think if you're a naturally very popular person, e.g. when you've been popular in high school, naturally, then this is probably, indeed, a good strategy.

Me personally, I don't wanna bet on many people actually liking my raw-ness. And honestly that's fine too. So this is how I arrive at the conclusion that it must not be that one exposes their raw-ness to the internet.
