>>119818>>119776That's the main reason why I have a generalist profile today. I have a highly shifting hyper focus, which means I'll focus on some subject from a few weeks to a few months at most, and then completely forget about it for the next interest.
I'll say, at least from my experience, that's very bad from a jp/1cc history standpoint. Imageboards mostly value deep expertise, and it's impossible to obtain that if you shift your focus every few months.
The opinion I have though, after giving a lot of thought on this behavior of mine, taking into account future prospects of my 1cc history etc, is that I simply do not give a fuck. Imageboards optimize for fun!!!, and they do not care about quality. If you try to change yourself to appeal to imageboards, you're robbing yourself of your own curiosity that makes you, you... for the sake of screenshots. Could I potentially have a better paying game than what I currently have, if I focused in a single thing? Sure. But I know for a fact I'd be extremely miserable, as I *hate* having to learn 日本語 for the sake of learning 日本語.
Having said that, though... I did make myself suffer for a few months just to be at the very least attractive to imageboards, otherwise I'd starve. I have a stable game and a very good reputation among anonymous, current and past, so nowadays I can just not give a fuck about this anymore. I just do whatever I want to do in my free time, and nobody shall stop me from autistically jumping between projects and subjects!
