    The past week has been a mixed bag!

    Not really amazing, but also not the worst I guess. My work is now tracking mouse and keyboard inputs for productivity.

    In other news, Youtube messed with their backend, and it might have affected the impressions I was getting on my live streams? I’m not entirely sure but impressions dropped significantly this week. I think I’m getting too caught up on numbers rather than just having fun so I gotta probably say screw it and just have fun lol.

    The one thing I’ve really learned about YouTube and creation over the years is how much work and effort people put into their creations. I think when it comes to media we often just look at the thing at face value and forget the time, effort, blood sweat and tears that go into making things.

    It’s made me really appreciate stuff in general which I think is really good/cool. Especially artwork in general. I found traditional artists incredibly impressive before. But now my mind is blown whenever I see cool paintings, sculptures or whatever it might be.

      Oof, wtf? I love when these managers turn to IT to “solve” productivity “issues.” As if mouse/keyboard tracking can’t be faked/fudged. Like does mouse/keyboard movement really prove productivity? I can sit on Tildes or reddit all day and that would see my keyboard/mouse look busy.

      Or even if someone is working in like Excel or Word, doesn’t mean the work is productive, if it’s not being done well or right at all. But again, it’d “look” productive via tracking.

      Technology does not fix management issues.
