After a few days, The Writer returned to his “notspirational” writing station. If anything, this was a battle station for his mind and soul. The place where all his cool ideas come to die as they are enveloped by yet another black draft window.
However, this time, things are different. His notifications are off the charts. All from… his rage-quitting hit piece on streaming services? The writer pinched himself. Tried slapping himself a few times back into reality. Stopped himself from putting his head through his monitor.
“No… this is legit. This is legit! THIS. IS. LEGIIIIIT!!!” He exclaimed with a shout of victory. Immediately, his cursor went to his metrics. Tens of thousands of impressions. Thousands of reads. Net earnings: $1.00.
“I did it! I made it!” The writer yelped some more, leaping out of his chair and dancing around in the most ragdoll-y way imaginable. After slamming himself back into his chair from exhaustion, he went to the anti-streaming article comments. Lots of praise and encouragement from readers to boycott streaming services.
