People push us all the time: buy this weight loss program; buy this stock; buy this crypto token; play that p2e game :)
Sounds familiar?
In todays age of social media, lot of people are selling products and ideas. Perhaps not all of it is bad either.
Some are just pushing opinions; some good some not so good, eh?
Recently watched a movie on Netflix based on a real life event… give it a watch if you can

You're right, we have various things rammed down our throats, products and services, ideologies, opinions and propaganda, one of the reasons I refuse to use social media.
Some, as you say, is valid but much of it is rubbish and is presented in a terrible way. I don't find marketing clever or interesting...if I don't want something I will not get it no matter how clever or interesting the marketing may be, or which "celebrity" is on the commercial.
I'll take a look at that movie, cheers.
Good to hear from you! How's life? Haven't seen a post from you a while. Love to get a life update, if you have the time and feel like it
Still alive, and that's really all I can say about life these days. Lost that creative spark I once had. Reigniting it is a challenge I'm not ready to take on just yet. Might be gone forever. I'm still around though, and trying to find things to give a shit about. Maybe I'll check out that movie... lol
“Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.”
Knowing your work a little bit, you might know who said that ;)
You will enjoy that movie. That movie is hardly about money, it is about social network, and its power.
I read the description. I remember that entire fiasco. Making it a comedy seems rather fitting.
And I didn't know who said that but after looking into it, I'm not surprised to see who it is. When it comes to my work and approach, there weren't any artists influencing me. No teachers either. Total outsider.
