My most successful post took me around an hour to publish and already has 10x more karma than a post that took me 10+ hours to publish.
There’s a certain unfairness about it. The post isn’t actually that good. I was just ranting about something that annoyed me.
I’m bitter about its success.
There’s something profoundly soul crushing to know that the piece I’m pouring my soul into right now wouldn’t be that well received.
Probably by the time I published it I’ll have spent days on the post.
And that’s just so depressing. So, so depressing.
