relax, it's temporary

"I crochet for clicks" vs "I crochet for enjoyment" has swung back to the latter.

So now hobbyists will have to build RL reptuation again, just like they did a few years ago.

The pattern scam sucks but, once again, reputation building will be important.

Hobbies will need to gatekeep. Post reels of work-in-progress etc.

The genie will not go back in the bottle - adapt or die I guess, sympathies for the dead.
