Personal Hot Take of the Night

 As obviously 'real me' as social media Tucker is, he is nevertheless not the real Tucker. Social media Tucker is deliberately indiscreet about real Tucker because real Tucker fancies himself a writer, to the point that it's basically 'what he cares about,' and if writers are not read, they need to continually ask why. It's all too easy to write what you want, but whatever the subject, you are only read if you forego that desire, and develop a style as best you can that emphasizes the reader over you: direct observation, plain speech, and entertainment. After ten years of daily practice, he's clearly still not particularly good at any of the three... and seems to only be truly good in moments of anger. But you do what you can to get an audience. You write in a way that hopefully enlists people to care what you have to say. It's so much easier to get people to care when you say things that are controversial, particularly these days. If you don't care whether people like you, and few people care less than Tucker, you can do that all too easily. But the really good ones get people to care about complicated things, and he's still not good enough at that to get people to do that. These pages function as a laboratory of feedback, where Tucker can measure people's responses in quantity, quality, and intensity, until Tucker discovers a proven theory of how to write for people.

So onward, more writing till y'all do, and by then, maybe a book is ready.
