Phil's 200 kilo-likes - A caricature of a capitalist figure inspired by the Monopoly mascot - charcoal and ink drawing with simple lines and only black and red as color - black background - a satisfied older man with a curled mustache, wearing a tall black top hat, a monocle, and a tuxedo with tails. He’s puffing a thick cigar with a smug grin. Instead of holding money, he’s gleefully tossing and hoarding glowing red heart-shaped icons, symbolizing 'likes' from social media. His pockets and briefcase overflow with these heart-icons. The background shows a luxurious office filled with screens showing rising like counts, and golden decorations shaped like thumbs-up and hearts. A visual satire of social media capitalism, blending old-school wealth with digital-age obsession
Yes, >200'000 times "click" (a mouse nightmare!) and this, just for... ME (yes, you read it right, ME!), can you imagine? I can hardly... But... Joke apart... It is now almost 2.5 years I am on DDG. It is the only social network I am active on, and it has become one of my main and most enjoyable hobbies (next to friendship, nature, reading, writing, math, physics, psychology, cycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, photography, sleeping, drinking good wine, complaining about the world, and an occasional depression). But beyond the mere "likes" (I would lie if I said I don't enjoy them, I do - but they are not really the essential, they are just an electronic currency of kindness), it is a big thanks I would like to send - a HUGE THANKS to all of you for sharing here, like me and with me, your emotions and visions and joys and pains and vulnerabilities and comments and culture and humor - and for making this site an inspired, open, creative, and benevolent little community. It is not obvious nowadays. Not at all. And I find it so heartwarming!
