Robert
Sigmund Freund lookalike, Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris

I was initially attracted to the symmetries between the steps, the huge windows and the shadows. The photo still needed the right character to appear and so I was very happy when the old man with the hat and overcoat appeared. Luckily the crowds parted at just the right moment (the museum was ridiculously busy) and I was able to capture him slowly and quite poignantly descending the stairs.

An old man in overcoat and pork pie hat descending the stair in an art gallery. The wall to the left of the picture is made up of many windows, making the scene very bright, and which are casting long shadows across the rear of the scene.

Over time I have noticed a steep decline in my #youtube channel #monetization , yet I see people with inferior channels and even video and acting quality make serious money. For me, knowledge and presentation of knowledge in a digestible is key to videos I want to watch which means I'm in a small bubble of a wider world of human raw vulnerability channels.
One of the big reasons I grew at all in my #atheist days was that I gave direct raw vulnerable first hand accounts of my negative (and a few positive) experiences with #religion and how I grew out of that into a better person. I also was showing my face, my awkwardness and my rough edge with minimal edits.
As videos got more professional over time and trying to keep up with that got more difficult, I shifted over to image based videos fully and haven't had my face on cam for probably 3-4 years now.
I feel like if I want to go forward at all, especially if it comes to making money, I will need to go back on camera and dilute the amount of information I put into one video to make it more digestible from a trusted vulnerable face that a video I want to watch which is a information dense video with as much knowledge and nuance packed in as possible, but then again I'm on the #autism #spectrum and most normies don't enjoy that at all. I play almost all videos at 2x speed, unless the accent gets in the way.
I'm going to have to commit or not, but I will make that decision after I'm done with the majority of my solarpunkusa channel topics.
I have a feeling that these vulnerable videos are much more of a draw because people are so #lonely and don't know how to make friends, so they rely on parasocial relationships to get that same fix. Sustainable #communities have knowledgeable seniors you know how to interact with without effort, most don't know how to have those kinds of relationships. Just going to have to figure out how to blend leftish politics and personal vulnerability together.

The second song I'm going to pull out is sweary #Lonely #RM it took a few listens, but I remember on day two : I need to pay attention to all the translations on this one. This is a song full of the pain of being that famous idol ( from being that boy with idols) This is the reality of fame, world tours sat in hotel rooms alone. This is something I'd totally got from the local band I know who got famous - it becomes a rollercoaster..

🧵3) And on the dark side of silence and solitude, I think folks are more likely to say they have herpes than say they are lonely, so crikey! Let's frickin sort that, yeah?

Much like an STD I think a lot of people are are lonely and don't even know it.

Time to just start talking about that candidly, yoink that monster out from under the bed... And maybe give it some antibiotics 🤔 (my metaphors got a lil confused there). Again gonna need some help...
