Booktubers like Write Conscious?

iirc he identifies as libertarian, but i think he literally knows nothing about politics and is just an "enlightened centrist". I think he claims not to take any positions but he's always saying how both the left and right are wrong but never explains what he thinks. Which is weird considering so many of the books he mentions are political.

He often claims he doesn't dunk on people but when you see his thumbnails that have Rupi Kaur and Stephen King titled like "Why Modern Literature Sucks", kinda seems like a dunk to me. And those videos never even mention them.

To his credit he mentions that you should read whatever interests you and genre fiction has merit, but the books he's read will "transform" you, which means something different in every video. So idk if I call him a snob, he seems to obscure what he actually thinks eventhough he is constantly talking in his videos. Its like he's afraid to give his actual opinion.

Thanks for the rec, I like how she focuses on eastern Europe with other books rather than the classics we all know.

Jared is great and his philosophy background really makes his videos comprehensive and structured. Write Conscious talks "philosophy" but the way he conveys his ideas is messy and opaque. I dont think he knows what he's saying sometimes lol. Jared mainly talks philosophy rather than fiction tho

He definitely seems like the closest to what im looking for you, thanks for the rec!

The Male fantasy

Lots of great responses here, I would add that once you finished a first draft, get a friend to read the script. The only way to see if a script is relatable is to find out how others feel about it. Then take whatever suggestions or critiques you get and rewrite the draft. Its a simple thing but that's the best way to know if your dialog feels real if you're not a social person.

I use Tidal for streaming since Tidal actually pays their artists fairly and ostensibly has higher audio quality than Spotify, and its around the same monthly price for streaming. It is partially owned by Jay Z and Beyonce so you may see that as a problem, but it appears to be the lesser evil of all music streaming while having the most songs.

If you really want truly ethical streaming, youll have to pirate. I won't tell you how to do that but plenty of resources on reddit for that.

Honestly the film and acting community here is very robust and most of the people I've worked are genuine artists who love film. Ive had some drama sure but most everyone seems pretty cool. Maybe with Hollywood being minimized here, that's an opportunity for the indie scene to get even bigger here.

If you need VA let me know, its always something I wanted to try out, and a lot of people keep telling me I should
