Interview notes (January 2023)
What keeps my twitter account going
"What is it that keeps this account going. A lot of online personalities maintain their accounts to ensure a constantly growing level of engagement , but if you don’t mind me saying (and I mean this with no disrespect of course), you haven’t got the largest level of consistent engagement , at least if one was to look at every piece of satire you post . Do you ever think about this or take it into account?"
What keeps me going is my obsession. This is what I want to do most of all, more than anything else.
No offense taken, by the way, about my number of followers. It is what it is, I try to not get emotionally attached.
Let me tell you a story, by way of analogy.
I play guitar, and I sing. When I was young — fifteen, twenty — it was very important to me to know how people felt about my performance. Naturally I wanted their approval.
But with time, in particular with experience on stage, I came to understand that I give a better performance (and live a happier life) if I *stop thinking* about what people think. The more I put aside "Do they love me? Do they hate me?", the more free I felt to *be myself*.
In the same vein, I try to *not care* that I have 1200 followers, and not five thousand, or ten, or fifty. As I am fond of saying: Do your work. Only the work matters.
