I can understand some of the why behind the mindset which leads me to the conclusion that it isn't pushed in a malicious way.
taskmaster4450 for instance has been creating content for years and as robotic as he may appear to be at times, he's still susceptible to crowd-think. I still remember when I shared an article on HackerNoon with him about Bitcoin distribution which ended up inspiring a post of his about it (that was a real sense of accomplishment at the time as he was my favourite author on the chain, almost 4 years ago now).
tarazkp was a favourite of mine too. I remember a post he shared years ago, which I reblogged, that told of his issues with video games and how he'd wasted countless hours on them over the years. He'd made the decision to stop entirely and move forward with the intention to make up for the lost time. I related and the memory still sticks with me. You can see how he's poured himself into content creation, his posts are very open still to this day. Although again, he is not susceptible to crowd-think.
These authors definitely shaped my thinking back in the day. If you check the comments you'll probably see me as one of the fanboys, dropping by and hoping to connect in some way. These days I am genuinely bored of that kind of content (not to say I always will be, that's just how tastes change) and would much rather spend my time exploring depths of creativity instead of technicality and information.
Does this mean I dislike these guys? Of course not. How could I possibly when they've been a part of helping me discover sides of myself in this confusing, yet beautiful, environment (and they still continue to do so, just not in the same light of the past).
At the end of the day, they remain part of your journey. It may be that the fundamentals of their content has not changed at all, simply your perspective on it has, and how it influences and shapes your life. ;-) I think you are right that the positive take from all of this is clarifying for yourself what type of content feeds your soul, inspires you and propels you forward. Personally, I find it very fortuitous that you are immersed in the depths of creativity, as this is the type of writing that inspires me and propels me forward hehe...and the cycles and spirals continue...ever outward ...ever inward 💗
Definitely!
