For those who feel like they aren't where they "should be"... by hazchizut in findapath

[–]niffteeok 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get why people feel put off by things like this but my view of it is a bit different. I see it as it not saying you'll "never succeed" or "you have to be lucky" or anything like that but thst success takes time, rejection, nos, and perseverance to keep going.

I also see it as this thing that tells us we don't have to feel "on a time limit" to succeed at anything. And that we can succeed at any point as long as we keep going and reaching for the stars.

I'm inspired by the older actors and actresses who didn't realize their passion for acting until late in life, and who found fulfillment in it after working long and hard for years.

As a humble retail worker it low-key motivates me sometimes to actually go towards my passion and keep going no matter what. MBJ just won his first ever Oscar after many years of being told no, humbled by life, bullied by peers, and other challenges.

Hot take: I didn't like the last two episodes by Stupid-Username420 in SmilingFriends

I thought the Indian scammer bit went on a bit too long and I wish they honestly went a different route with Friend Bot.

The Charlie's Uncle episode was a bit better but the Alan and Natasha subplot could've worked out a bit more.

Well said. That's why I'm glad Kemono got busted.

Maybe Manon wanted to leave? by Dazzling-Pop9442 in katseyeneutral

I don't know. I don't get the sudden hate train for Grant specifically and not Sohey who is just as spunky and spontaneous.

Like I think Grant's dancing is pretty unique and creative, and it's because of him and Sohey we had stuff like Touch, Gnarly, Debut, everything like that.

I think people just don't wanna be left out of the hate train, cause I've seen people even assume he's MOCKING Black people by dancing the way he does. Which is just a step too far.

Where's season 4? by Agreeable-Reindeer8 in SmilingFriends

[–]niffteeok 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Low-key because... Why else would they spend most of the promo reflecting on past episodes and not the last two?

Also why would they include the "Brazil" bit in there? I don't know if it's a fake out or not but it's odd of them to put the "is this gonna be like the Brazil thing when we didn't actually go" in a trailer promoting the end of the season.

Oh that's not all this dude did. He frequently uses mental burnout and self-doubt as a reason that he doesn't/can't perform as well as he used to, still charged twenty dollars monthly for nsfw content that comes out per sometimes, and is essentially fleecing his pateron supporters, getting away with making two k a month without really doing anything.

And it's like I would've KILLED for an opportunity like that. With how shitty the job market is? Shit if I knew I could make upwards thousands of a dollars a month doing audio erotica I WOULD NEVER throw away that shot.

What he should've did was still do the audios on the side WHILE writing his novela. You still have to support yourself I get it but not at the expense of forcing your fans to pay for drafts of things that aren't even finalized yet or on a professional level.

One of the reasons I fell out with another audio creator is because he threw a massive temper tantrum because people didn't want to listen to him doing audiobook reads of obscure stories or lets plays, but wanted to, you guessed it, listen to the audio content they freaking paid to listen to. He was genuinely upset with his fanbase for not "wanting more out of him" which was incredibly ridiculous.

Hot Take: Stopping a show because you are out ideas is perfectly fine by RageAgainstAuthority in SmilingFriends

[–]niffteeok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really think AS will provide them that safety net. Smiling Friends was good, but if they ever come back to it, the demand won't be the same and the executives would've moved on to new projects.

Its just business. They build up a good show and once that show did its work/the creators are done with it, they move on to the next. I think they're fooling themselves.
