She's been around for ages, so hardly a new grifter, but yeah.

It's funny, I'm rather conflicted. I like people putting out this viewpoint, and I'm not inherently against 'grifters'...but at least execute well. I don't care if you're left or right, grifter or completely genuine, if you adopt some annoying 'web' persona for 'the algorithm' or whatever, you're going to annoy me. Just do your thing; stop trying to ape other people or what you think people want.

A lot of people shit on GG in hindsight, but I still think it was good, even if some of those people were grifters. I think such a cultural shift is still a good and necessary thing, even if some of the people involved aren't actually purists. I want people to reward people for putting this kind of thing out but, again, do it well.

I'm so glad I'm getting code done now so I can move forward with things and focus on that, it's only going to get worse.

I haven't gotten around to it yet, sadly, but I think I'll have a bit more time coming up soon, and hope to dive into some of the basics myself, at least. Hoping to start my programming journey more seriously soon, but so many other things to take up my time/energy too.
