I had a self realization about a year ago. The reason I started making music is because it brings me joy. Nothing on this earth makes me feel quite like how I do when I'm creating music. I realized I'm madly in love with the process, not the end result. I realized I have the most fun I've ever had in my entire life when I'm creating my art. Even if I'm all alone.

But when I started doing it for the wrong reasons, like for attention or "success"
I began to lose my passion for it...

I had to remind myself why I started this journey in the first place. I had to ask myself the God honest truth, if no one ever listened to my music, and if I never made another dime from it again would I still do it?

When I finally admitted to myself that the answer was yes, that's when I found myself again. I rediscovered my passion for it, and this time it wasn't rooted in anything other than the art itself and the pleasure I get from creating it. Of course it excites me when others people enjoy what I create, but sharing my art with other people is really just the cherry on top! True fulfillment comes from the freedom of expression and the feeling of accomplishment I get when I finally hit that button to finalize a track. At heart I'm my own biggest fan, but I'm also my own biggest critic and I've had to learn to balance that in a healthy way.

I guess what I'm saying is, whatever your passion is, whatever it is that you DO, do it for an audience of one. Only then will you truly be content with the things you create. If you think its dope, then IT IS dope! There's no need for any outside validation. As long as you're satisfied with your own product, that's all that really matters<3

So as I said before. @deso APY is a set of points in time and for each point there is specified reward. Locking further in time after the last point would make no extra reward. Reward is added immediately when you lock coins. Coins are just added out of nowhere.

To get list of all APY points is actually easy.... It is simple GET request with user public key

By default @focus app makes only 1 point for 1 year. But you can really make it much more interesting. I have been adding multiple points via BitClout app. In this example there are 3 points - 1 day, 2 days and 365 days.

1st of all the only source is a post by Polymarket on X and there is no data from officials at all, so it can be just misinformation aka engagement farming. And 2nd, how exactly revenue from those sales is used? There is absolutely zero data on that. Anyway this revenue is a drop in the ocean... operate by data and not by statements from some people.

🤣 Hilarious... they do not activate post-to-earn first of all because of bots and the second to bots threat they believe is @brootle

They think that somehow I force people to follow, read my posts and engage with my posts?

It would be interesting to see how many people are actually using Focus vs other apps. The problem is that when you make a post via @focus they do not mark that post as one made via @focus... Other apps like @DeSocialWorld do.

Good morning future $poors millionaires 🤣
