Swimming in a sea of shit: Phil Fish and the Internet’s war against creatives
by forwardslash

    I was somewhere outside the United States having a conversation with another critic about our respective jobs. The subject of whether we had ever thought of quitting came up, and he told me a story about sharing the death of a family member on social media, a loss that had affected him greatly.

    Someone sent him the following message: “Good.” He told me that was the first time he had seriously thought about quitting, that the job just wasn’t worth the nearly constant stream of abuse you’re forced to endure online.

    These are stories we rarely tell.
