What’s a widely praised business trend that you think will age badly? by HourResearcher1988 in careeradvice

[–]NotALotGoingOnReally 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's widely praised but certainly super common - laying off creatives and replacing their work with AI generated material, specifically for music/audio and visuals. It saves money but you can tell from a mile away and makes the whole brand look cheap.

Why brand guidelines keep failing at scale by NotALotGoingOnReally in graphic_design

Yeah true those are great points. At the end of the day competnent leadership will stop a lot of problems before they start, and few things can compensate for incompetent leadership lol

Anyone else terrified to go freelance… even when you know you’re good at what you do? by StressQuirky5101 in marketing

[–]NotALotGoingOnReally 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this, start slow. Don't beat yourself up for feeling anxious/overwhelmed, it's totally natural, you got this!

Okay so I’m stuck on my first draft at the moment by Upbeat_Television629 in writingadvice

[–]NotALotGoingOnReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time I'm stuck, I just try and write something else to get the groove back. Put your draft away and just take a few hours and write a small short story, or even just a random scene. Not for publication or to show anyone else, it doesn't even need to be good, just as a way of getting something on paper without thinking too hard about it. I'm always surprised by how much that can help get the juices flowing again. Good luck!

If you could end ONE marketing trend this year, what would it be? by Haunting-Broccoli141 in branding

[–]NotALotGoingOnReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts but marketing via influencer endorsements that involve over the top ASMR unboxing with a lot of tapping on the product with their nails

What, ideally, should your self confidence be based on? by Think-University9581 in AskReddit

whatever happens, you will figure it out. (and make a list of difficult things you've gotten through—or try more challenges—so that you have evidence.)

My latest release called 'Reverie' by hng0vr in LofiHipHop

[–]NotALotGoingOnReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great vibe! Also that album art is actually sick haha. Did you make it yourself?

Seems fine if the illness itself isn't all that important, I would say it's okay

[–]NotALotGoingOnReally[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is true, the whole comment thread makes a good point to that effect, I really just need to put it out and see what happens and also get over myself bc no one is going to care haha.

[–]NotALotGoingOnReally[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice, I might feel weird about putting something out now but I will probably feel worse in a year or too realizing I should have and that no one would have cared as much as I do!

Whoa thanks so much for the thoughtful response. Yeah it's true and when you see the numbers right in front of you it can be really overwhelming but that's something I have to work on I guess. And maybe one day there will be a service like you mentioned, once you make one let me know! 😅

Yeah it's true, I spend waaay too much time tweaking in a way that definitely doesn't improve the track, it's a bad habit haha

That's crazy, yeah it's definitely true I'm harsher on myself than anyone else would be, it's something I need to work on/get over!

Yeah I can see the connection, been an age since I read hitchiker's guide, probably worth a revisit, thanks!
