I follow a few art and craft type areas on various sites, and find it disturbing how much content now is basically just performance art. It’s created to look like an interesting process for people to watch rather than because it actually creates something worthwhile, and it is way too simplistic to be instructional. Sometimes it feels like no one is actually living life any more, they are just watching it or creating content for other people to watch. I really like being able to share in things other people are making and doing, but real content is getting pushed out by this made-for-clicks stuff and its really disapointing.
I feel that. Similarly, every time I see footage of a concert or sporting event, people are just… watching their phones as they film it, rather than enjoying the moment. I find it pretty depressing, and quite surreal.
I will admit I like watching people knit (I’m a knitter myself) because it’s very short of… Relaxing almost. Even crochet content too weirdly enough. But I imagine it’s a different story for those who are creating drawings or something else. But I also don’t delve deep into knitting/crochet content except for the few youtubers I watch.
