Why Twitter Rewards Toxicity (And What It’s Costing Creators) | CrossRoads Editorials | Ep 1: Discord Voice Notes Vol 2
This week, I recorded over an hour of raw, unscripted voice notes — no fluff, no fake hot takes.
I talk about:
-
The broken rewards system of the algorithm 🤖
-
IWC drama cycles and burnout 💥
-
The loneliness of being thoughtful in a loud, chaotic space 🌪
-
NJPW storytelling ideas no one’s pitching 🎭
I could’ve chased clout. I chose depth instead.
🧠 If you’re tired of content that screams and leaves you empty, these notes are for you.
💬 Total time: 1 hour, 8 minutes, 12 seconds
🎧 Voice Notes 1–4 are now available for supporters.
Tap in. Slow content still matters.
If this resonated with you, join a membership to unlock the discord called The Chat Community to be the first to listen to the voice notes before it goes public to everyone!
Discord perks included!
Conversations I Had Before You Got Here [CrossRoads Editorial | Ep 0: #Discord Voice Notes Vol. 1]
Before I invited anyone into my new Discord —
Before I even publicly announced what I was building —
I recorded three voice notes. No script. No edit. Just me, talking it out.
That’s what this 31-minute drop is.
The beginning of CrossRoads Interviews and Editorials.
The first layer of The Chat Community.
The reset.
You’ll hear me talk about:
-
Burnout and why I had to shift directions
-
Wrestling without the noise
-
Building with purpose
-
The truth about creating in public
-
And why Discord, not Twitter, is where the real conversation starts
💬 What comes next?
This is Part 1, and it’s free.
Future voice notes will be posted here early for supporters — before they ever hit YouTube, Substack, or anywhere else. Some may stay exclusive. Some may lead directly to community convos.
And if you want to join the private Discord — The Chat Community — supporting here is the best way in.
You’ll get:
✅ A special role inside Discord
✅ Access to future supporter-only drops
✅ Member threads, Q&A, and whatever comes next
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for supporting my pivot — and this next chapter.
