[WE01] A conversation with Darien

Me: “So like… idgaf about the algorithm”

Darien: “true.”

Me: “Our job is to give people art they can feel and connect with.”

Darien: “True.”

Me: “I can’t absorb the world around me and analyze it and digest it and then transfuse it into my voice and music when I’m constantly concerned with how an algorithm built on manipulating and abusing ppls addictive, destructive behaviours will react to my cover photo. I’m literally promoting myself by utilizing something built to feed off of ppls most base desires and habits. I’m part of the problem that my music fights to change…”

Darien: “True. So what do you wanna do about it?”

Me: “I dunno, maybe hang outside the window while the cars moving. That’ll probably grab ppls attention in the first 3 seconds of the video and increase watch time”

Darien: “True.”
