I note that @sonyasupposedly 's thread yesterday of how hobbies / identities need to have a high cost of buy in is relevant here

oh for sure, I know you didn't mean it that way :) "identity" is a weird thing to me, I guess it's an unavoidable aspect of the human experience. my "identity" — both internal and external — depends a lot on context
-
I'm not sure what my central or abiding identity is? maybe just my personality? I think "identity" just doesn't map that well to how I experience life

and it's hard! Merchants are incentivized to say / do whatever works to sell product. They have a few fans? OK, great, let's "work with the fans". But that CREATES an on-ramp for fanddom. Humans "snap to grid" w identity formation. Schelling points beckon - for good reason!

anyway I have a lot to say re this but should work maybe talk in 28 days!
