i can’t travel for open mics, unfortunately. however, i tried stand-up once and hated it. i did decently but was terrified the whole time and couldn’t think straight or focus. i’d rather not feel that way again. online is where i feel safest. it’s okay, it is what it is. the entertainment industry has always been bullshit on top of bullshit. this is nothing new, just a shittier way for capitalists to get what they want out of artists.

i am on TikTok and Shorts, so yes, short-form videos. it is a huge problem over here and it suuuuuucks ass.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the long-form platforms are screwing you over
not yet but YouTube has its own headaches! lol
They just seem so tailor-made to addict you, and I don’t need another addiction.
you aren’t wrong. they know what you like very, very well. it’s disturbing. but if i’m gonna be forced into this dystopia can an online comedian get a little break here, eh???
