Funny how people don’t really know their impact on others. Like some song may be hugely personally meaningful to me but it’s just a few random streams for the artist. Or I’ve learned something from a random old comment but that commenter would say it’s silly or uninformed today.
And would they care? I don’t know. Like if I told that to some artist they’d probably feel icky and awkward. They just made a thing and they know it’s good, but they’re not responsible for my feelings. That thing has its own life now.
I think the part I tend to get wrong is projecting the awesomeness onto the person when it’s really about the work of art they’ve fished out, and my interpreting it. Stanning them might be awkward but stanning the work is not because clearly we both liked it a lot.
So it’s not “omg u understand me so much ur so amazing” but more “thank u for taking your time to bring this gem into our world, ur effort and taste and care is precious”.
