Overall I like this and agree with it, but I feel like there's a deep contradiction or at least inconsistency in it. It's hard to articulate, or maybe I just haven't had enough coffee yet. > The most valuable part, I think, is that [being as open as you feel comfortable] really is a positive move towards honesty and transparency rather than a fake hustle culture that has long loomed in our capitalistic society. > (This doesn't mean there is no hustle culture, there still is, it just shows up a bit differently.) > Typically, in the creator and founder space, people share learnings and outcomes via Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, blog posts or in specific places like Indie Hackers, Product Hunt, Hackernews or Reddit. First, let me say that I like that this points out that the problem with hustle is the proportion, not the existence. You've got to have some pep in your step to get by, but when "the hustle" becomes a desperate game that warps the good things in life, well, it's time to retire, play some other game for a while, eh? With that out of the way, I think the problem shows itself in the way OP thinks of these massive corporate for-profit platforms as "public". These corps are our capitalistic society. Can you build in community in a shopping mall?
