Advertising Is Brutal
I've been starting to get back into composing music, which for me also means looking at YouTube videos and social posts related to the topic. But the more I start looking at videos and content related to it, I find myself clicking on links to look at virtual instruments and sample libraries. And the more I do it, the more it just keeps piling on and on.
So now everywhere I go I'm getting bombarded by ads for sample libraries. It's kind of cool, but I don't need to buy any more virtual instruments. I need to make music with what I already own (which is a substantial amount). It's making me slip into the mindset that I need to buy another orchestral library before I can start doing the thing that I wanna do. I haven't fallen for it yet, but I just can't stop looking. I have to get away from social media. It's the only way. Otherwise they're going to get me.
