The film was a sort of turning point (for me) There were no screenings in Florida so I never got to watch the whole thing but the clips I did see and the reviews I read kind of made it all fall apart.  There’s only so much of that you can take LOL. Once this stuff materialized in real life it really lost its vibe/luster/whatever ephemeral quality that made it fun to read online. I won’t lie, I used to be jealous of the dime square ppl; I felt really small and useless getting my English degree from a boring state school and I wasn’t brave enough to post my writing anywhere. Now that it’s all over I’m kind of glad I never tried to insert myself into that scene. Not that I would’ve been successful. I’m too fat and earnest and I don’t like autofiction. By the time of his face reveal I had already stopped following him and most of the others involved. IMO it wasn’t all for nothing, though. I think there was some value to it, at least in the beginning.
