In terms of my journalistic work, I love every single day that I get to work with the people at @InvenGlobal and get to produce the content we do.

That said, however/whenever my editorial gig with Inven ends, it'll likely be my last foray into the profession

/thread

I was already thinking of leaving journalism at the tailend of my gig with VPE. I was tired of writing, mostly, and found that I had less and less time to study game and stories.

The only reason I joined Inven is because I KNEW I'd be working with people I could call friends

This has 100% come true, and mentoring/editing/improving the @InvenGlobal newsroom and the content it produces is the only reason why I wake up excited about this job.

The people working with me are the closest to the crews I had back in http://GG.net  and Cybersport

Everyone is in sync, eager to learn and it's a pleasure to teach them.

That said:

1) This is a thankless job and idk how much more I have it in me to keep doing it

2) Modern-day esports journalism has mutated and a lot of is is exactly what I DONT want to do

There are fantastic writers EVERYWHERE but I see more and more what content people want and don't want to read, which makes me lose faith in the profession and the society it's meant to serve

Journalism is already a soul-sucking job to do and I admire the people that have survived it and doing well and making a living out of it.

But there are fewer and fewer reasons I find each day to keep going.

The minds I work with at @InvenGlobal are what keep me motivated

And yes, I know this thread has a very "OK Boomer" feel
