I've also surpassed seven years recently as well. :)
Treated this place like a hobby job that I loved for years.
Felt mad about the direction or lack there of for a while.
Got bored, got annoyed, came back to see the people I liked and I still enjoy them.
But yeah, I have the 7 year itch, feels like we have the same conversations and nothing feels very fresh.
Happy 7 years... See ya around if we both wind up here on the same days.
I was treating it like Youtube, as an early Youtuber would have. They were all sitting around with 5000 followers and that was a lot. Now some of those same people are millionaires with millions of followers. And it's only because the platform grew at a faster pace than the content creator. Wasn't expecting the same results for me personally but did think by now there'd be a lot of attractive content that's also attracting actual consumers. LOL but I say "consumers" now and start shaking violently and having flashbacks lol.
Can still pull plenty of positives out and look forward to more though. So maybe in seven more years something will happen. chuckles
For sure I'll see you around. Happy 7 to you as well.
