i've been doing this all my life because it seemed noble to me and tbqf i'm sick of the shitty rewards cutely enough, Donald Trump was a model of what drove me into it by counterexample when i was a kid, and 2016 also convinced me it was a loser strategy

I’m done with the “creator economy” frame. Plays to narcissistic flake types a little too much. The backstopper economy is much more interesting. People who step up to keep collaborative efforts going through uncertainties and lean patches. Including necessary grinder work.

If you feel that way, you’re more unconscious martyr as I’ve defined downthread than a backstopper 🤣 I personally never backstop past the point where I start expecting rewards/gratitude. If the backstopping isn’t it’s own reward, the unconscious martyrdom risk is too high
