Our future, teetering on the edge of mediocrity, demands YOUR attention. It calls for us to think, question, and act now, like a clear warning of an approaching storm. And no, don't "do it for the clout", but do it to shape your future. Do it for yourself and for others to come.
Let's be pragmatic and committed to excellence, never settling for less. Despite the challenges that different platforms throw at us, approaching content the right way is a must.
Our future depends on it.
