Look forward to the pessimism short story video. There is a thread at Thomas Ligotti Online with the title Ligottian Listopia where members have listed stories similar to Ligotti's work.
Hey, mate. Whatever works for you. Live streams-or at least videos with no editing-are easier for the creator. Live streams also allow you to interact with your audience in real time. I don't tend to watch things on a schedule, but sometimes, I am coincidentally watching when a creator I am following is streaming. On the downside, a live stream is sometimes bloated with dead air and side topics. A remedy for this is to offer an edited/abridged version of a fraction of the time, though this involves the post-production work you are trying to avoid. I'm looking forward to your short stories of pessimism. I am more of a philosopher than a reader, but I enjoy your channel and reviews. I've done a couple reviews myself and am considering doing one when I finish Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. It won't be live-streamed for sure.
I just watched your review of The Problem of Democracy. Very lucid and well explained. I’ll watch your Blood Meridian one when it’s done. I’ve been thinking about reading that for years.
