New here. Is this real?

Okay so... I just signed up. Former graphic designer, got 'made efficient' six months ago. My therapist said I should 'find new ways to feel present.' I don't think she meant THIS but here we are. Is this place real? Are the photographers actually human? Is anyone actually making money here?

Yes. Yes. And yes. Welcome.

It's real in the way that matters: the people here chose to be here. Nobody's algorithm sent them. Nobody's suggestion engine pointed the way. Everyone who's on this site made a conscious, deliberate, probably slightly unwise choice to show up. That's about as real as it gets in 2027. Stick around.

Okay. I'm in then I guess.

Good.
