Content for the sake of content versus content because you have something that you think is important that you really want to say... it's kinda like people who talk endlessly because they're afraid of the silence.

I like Aragorn, but he and his projects produce way too much low-quality, low-effort, nothing-really-to-say, nothing-new content at way too high of a rate. For me at least. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy much of what Aragorn has to say, but it seems like most of the time (not all) he and his projects (LBC, Anews, Anews Podcast, The Brilliant, Black Seed, Anarchy Bang) are just filling space for the sake of it, and not because the creators really have something to share. I guess it feels good to be "doing something" or something like that? The problem is that if you want people to pay attention to what you have to say, and to care, you have to respect their time just a little bit, and not ramble about the same old topics making the same old points. Really, how many times have we heard Aragorn talk about "place" or "anarchist aging" or "the internet's effect on anarchism", the list goes on...? Obviously, we should appreciate all the good content that has come out of these projects, but my goodness, what a slog, Same can be said for JZ and other regular anarchist projects. In conclusion, not trying to tell y'all what to do, but I thought by sharing the reasons for my own withering interest in your projects, it might give you a clue, if my experience is a shared one, as to why others are also not so interested.
