I agree with you on both points, I really wish these types of activities for a lot of people were just hobbies. Maybe it’s because I live in the city but I’ve seen too many people go all in on these “professions” thinking they are a sure thing and end up with nothing and jobless. It’s really sad tbh, the way media portrays these ways of life would have you believing that they are more attainable than reality permits.

While it's sad, I think it's just the nature of change. Some people do really good on these new 'jobs' (thesis), a lot of people flock to do the same (antithesis), most of them realize not everyone can do it and start to think realistically (synthesis). It's sad that we have to witness people fail, but it's kinda inevitable. We can all just try to reach synthesis.

Interesting, I like that train of thought. It seems like these ‘jobs’ have become the “new get rich quick” scheme that’s come around the bend imo (less so podcasting), just felt most people don’t see the other side of the coin on these topics before entering. Thanks for the chat and for keeping it civilized! I hope you have a great day/night depending where you live!

Persian is my native language and I never bothered with Persian classics till recently. Holy moly the stuff I was missing are incredible. Specially Shahnameh (book of kings) and Tarikhnama (book of history) and the famous Khayyam.

I brought the clip into premiere pro (first time using) and used the warp stabilizer to get rid of the camera shake that I looked up on yt. Exported to video and did the cinemagraph in photoshop! Very fun and I plan on doing more from my favorite movies
