In this episode, I talk to @aalasteir about what he does involving royalty-free music and podcasting, but it diverges completely into left field and I let the conversation go where it wants. During, he explores his sense of humor and views on the world. This version of the conversation has actually been edited by Aalasteir himself by request, so I hope you enjoy.

Aalasteir responds:

Thank you!

okay

Lawl the episode's start. Yea, people are conditioned at this point to expect 5s and get upset/annoyed with anything lower

Aalasteir responds:

Absolutely true.

Movies and games: ARE often subject to much more critical evaluation compared to art and audio.

Still, the reviews they receive tend to be perceived more positively, when accompanied by elaborate compliments, an understandable joke, or a well-placed quote. At times, this can generate a multitude of positive emote reactions: Incentivizing the behavior, yes I have played parts in furthering this zeitgeist.

In-depth reviews of art and audio can sometimes be misconstrued as signs of aggression. HOWEVER; THIS SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH. It is not advantageous for the creator to be confined to an echo chamber. Constructive criticism provides them with potential avenues to grow and improve at a much quicker pace, as they gain insight into areas for deconstruction.

For those who criticize critics, they often assert that it is merely one individual's perspective. Nevertheless, having even one perspective is infinitely more valuable than having NONE.
Especially when the reviewer is very familiar with the field; providing valuable insight.
In addition, I would confidently state that reviews from individuals who are not familiar with the field still offer a valuable perspective. They should not be automatically scoffed at due to their inexperience with the production pipeline. Not utilizing correct terminology.

The active viewer, who is interested in engaging with an artist's creation, should NOT be mocked simply because they are unfamiliar with the processes. A better option would be to provide them with a respectful message explaining how your production functions, rather than "Asserting Intellectual Dominance" over an individual who is genuinely interested in sharing their thoughts with you.

Each individual possesses their own unique specializations and skill sets. There is boundless potential for enhancing abilities from one's initial starting point. Learning is an adventure!
