How craving attention makes you less creative, by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Posted by on - Basic Other

Just a short video, a little contrarian, but perhaps it can be of some use to indie devs out there. Here it is:

"Joseph Gordon-Levitt has gotten more than his fair share of attention from his acting career. But as social media exploded over the past decade, he got addicted like the rest of us -- trying to gain followers and likes only to be left feeling inadequate and less creative. In a refreshingly honest talk, he explores how the attention-driven model of big tech companies impacts our creativity -- and shares a more powerful feeling than getting attention: paying attention."

Watched this talk just last night by coincidence! It's something I've thought about a lot in recent years and he really gets to the heart of it and so honestly too, great talk. And definitely relevant for indie developers (and creatives in general of course!)
