Twitter Experiments
I used to get mad at the artists on X about doing the stupid things, like slicing art in 4 pieces. But now I feel stupid for getting mad at them for experimenting with the available formats.

Introversion fee
Sometimes the actions done by a customer instead of the paid staff are reffered as a "shadow work". Furniture assembly, self-service at the gas-station, *self-checkout*, etc. Doesn't matter. I love the self-checkout terminals. The store in my reach has the discounts on the goods that are running out of time, like yesterday's pastry and stuff. But you can't punch these discounts at the self-checkout because they're just the slapped-on stickers with the date written on, so I mostly leave these goods to someone who would care more. But when there no fresh goods left, I have to take the discounted ones and I still bring these to the self-checkout paying the full price so I can skip the cashier. It feels like an introvesrion fee.

Style simplicity
When an original author (or a company) finishes a huge work, it gets the attention and creates a fandom. If a style is very simple, it's becomes simple to create the in-style fan-arts. The in-style fan-arts are very immersive in terms of an original universe, so these works are also popular. But does a fan-artist really want to lock into a very simplistic style of the work?

I wonder
How well the site algorithms differentiate between "He likes beautiful legs" and "He would enjoy feet in his face"?
