Who could've seen this coming?
I did...
Deep down, I knew I wouldn't stay away for too long. But I needed to take a few days and really think it through. Why was I uploading videos? Where do I draw these lines with myself and what parts of me I let get taken by the world.
I'm not happy with the things Google's doing, but I don't know if it's feasible to fully protect myself from AI and still do the things I love, still achieve the career I want.
I'm sure I could still do something, but ultimately youtube was alawys gonna be somewhat essential to what I'm doing. Social media in general is the only way I can really see myself making money as an artist, at least until I get out of college. But even then, who knows what the job market will be like then. So, it really seems best for myself to take full advantage of these platforms, even if it means sacrificing parts of myself to AI that I would rather keep private.
Hopefully some sort of regulation or something will come along eventually. But until then, I suppose we're stuck like this.
I'm not sure if I can realistically keep these posts going alonside youtube vidoes, nor do I know if it'd be benificial. I'm thinking of moving away from this site to a new one. Neocities is a cool platform, but I need something that I can grow into with the projects I have coming up. You'll see eventually. But for now, thank you guys for reading, however many of you there are. :)
Until next time,
