My take on trying to produce original things is to avoid consuming the same things as everyone else.

Why would they want to read something so unoriginal from you, an unknown writer, with no credibility, rather than established writers, New York Times best-selling authors, or millions-subscribed youtube creators?

Read weird shits: research that no one gives a fuck about, websites that look 20 years old, video essays that have almost 100 views.

Praise the weird things we consume.
