takeaways from aman’s data storytelling talk at purdue makes me wonder whether i should hop on to a social media platform.
this is a working pros & cons list, as i wade through this dilemma
pros:
- connect with more people that i won't physically meet (like aman); this is what cody also affirmed.
- be updated (i largely feel like i miss out on things); observations from itp & specifically kezia.
- possibility of more work (like how cody & sai get)
cons:
- gated platform; goes against how i think the internet should be. but what does it matter what i think? morals.
- insecurity?
- numbing of senses (but not if i have a system to just post and not look at things)
- saturation
- living under a rock
- time
i like zach’s approach of posting sketches from: notes & thoughts from zach’s writing on 10 years of sketching.
cody says he posts the process.
luke dubois posts serge patches.
i wonder if i’ll get sucked into the vortex.
current decision:
no.
