Hit 200 subscribers on my critique channel and it felt weird

I started a channel last fall breaking down why certain celebrity apologies just don't land, mostly as a hobby after getting canceled myself at a small marketing firm in Portland. Yesterday I saw the counter hit 200 and honestly it surprised me how many people actually care about this niche debate around public shaming. Anyone else get a weird feeling when their small project around cancel culture suddenly gains a little traction?

Read somewhere that our brains treat any audience as a spotlight and it just feels exposed.

Same thing happened when my little workshop tip channel passed 150. It's weird seeing strangers care about something you just do for fun.

Makes you realize how most people are quietly doing stuff that matters to them without expecting anyone to notice. The internet just happens to shine a light on some of it now and then. Its like finding out your neighbor has been baking amazing bread for years and suddenly the whole block wants a loaf. We're all just out here doing our thing until someone pretends to care.
