    I cannot find it, but my gf showed me this tiktok where a person made an extremely compentent remix within the fortnite music mode. It was a completely original work made of songs within fortnite it was very impressive. All that is to say Im not a fan of low effort work when just a small amount more could turn it into something new and interesting. Monitizing it is just an extra fu imo.

    I do get what youre saying about struggling for money, but even so ive seen street artists with some insane talent and or ingenuity. Im of the belief that everyone can practice at something and make a living off of it even if its something wed consider mundane like… sweeping a floor. Im going to look up a professional sweeper right now on youtube and find someone with insane skill. And im sure the same is true with any task or art.

      That does sound really cool tbh. I bet they got started by making minor alterations to other people’s work, too. And I really do hear you and, on some levels, really agree. I just also see it as we all start where we start and that can’t be helped. Like, those first few steps need to be pretty small for the average person, and most of everyone models themselves after someone else in some way or other. I just dont think of it as an fu until the money comes in, is what I’m saying ig. It’s definitely a deeper shade of grey past that point tho.

      If you ever find that fortnite vid or one of some magically talented sweepist (lol), please do drop a link!
