That would be a lot

That sounds like a challenge. C’mon fellas, this cup size connoisseur thinks we can’t make them look bad with our upvotes!
*click* aaaaand three. Take THAT, oh ye of little faith!
It’s just the amount of effort to build an audience requires not having a life so well adjusted/normal people don’t get into it

I think about that quite a lot when I'm watching some of my favourite channels on YouTube. Just how much they have to keep on having ideas, and how much time and effort goes in to that 15 minute video you've just watched.
I don't have the energy for that.
My wife handles my social media for my company and does exactly what you say. 2 days on a simple clip just to get a few engagements. I appreciate her efforts from the bottom of my heart, but I hardly think it's worth it. I'd rather her use that time and energy to do something that makes her happy.

Yeah, in reality you are totally right. On stuff like Reddit not only did I ignore scores or engagement indicators, but I almost never commented in the first place. On Lemmy not only is is nicer to comment and interact because of the audience, it is interesting to know that a couple people or a couple dozen people agreed/disagreed, or that it resonated with them, etc.
And you have to love how my suggestion got ZERO buy in around here.

Depending on what you're doing, mind, the ends can justify the means. My radio show is two hours on air each week. But to get to those two hours...
Log all the suggestions from listeners: 1 hour
Download the songs: 1 hour
Decide which songs to play: 2 hours
Programme the running order: 1/2 hour
Writing posts and general admin: 1/2 hour
Editing the recorded show: 1/4 hour (if I haven't fucked anything up)
Uploading to Mixcloud (inc. tagging, etc): 1/4 hourSo that's 5 1/2 hours without once hitting play in Mixxx.
And that doesn't include the hour my wife puts in to making each week's running order into a playlist on Apple and Spotify, and the artwork she makes for each episode.
I love doing my show, but yeah, a hell of a lot of work goes into those two hours.

Certainly go with the bread you like, but the Artesano is #1 rated from America’s Test Kitchen for supermarket white bread. I use it because the loaf lasts me two weeks without going stale or moldy. I’d prefer fresh bread from the bakery or the farmers market but it just doesn’t last long enough to use the whole loaf.
I'll take bread baked by a local bakery over anything Sara Lee, 100% of the time.
