How the fuck do you even bother let alone attempt to compete across the shitstorm tsunami of competitors?

The act of writing and putting my work out into the world is enough

I dunno. I quit writing. It is too saturated as a medium. Started taking pictures. I will probably work in fast food-tier jobs my whole life, either way.
My pictures will be my next attempt at "competing" as you say. But, I think we are using two different definitions for the same word. My definition includes everyone from every profession, good or bad.

Will you try one thing. Imagine, you are not a human among humans but a world among worlds. To me it helps. For you it won't. Since you are makeshift. Or else your answer would not be in my post.

Writing is the absolute worst creative pursuit there is.

The internet has oversaturated every medium, but at least things like music and visual arts aren't completely irrelevant on top having a never ending tidal wave of shit being published.

Writing is a waste of time.

Pictures are probably even more saturated than writing honestly.

because it's not about the adulation either of the masses looking to satiate their addictions to entertainment - frying their brains with ink on paper rather than digital moving pictures - nor of some monopoly of publishers

Pictures mostly have low tier competition. If you are willing to put in the work you can very quickly surpass most competitors.

Same as writing then? The majority seems to be done by bored middle class white women ... kinda like pictures.
