"New impressions of known works (first-time impressions)" are the ultimate entertainment.

"Viewing new impressions of known works" is well known to be the ultimate entertainment, and records even show that in the Colosseum of ancient Rome, there was a spectacle called "Person tweeting first-time impressions of The Gallic Wars vs. Bloodthirsty Lion".

Hello, I am Omochizuki, a critic of the obscure.
Lately, by dabbling in genres I haven't touched before and casually tweeting my impressions, I've been stirring up my timeline and cultivating a healthy cycle of entertainment consumption. I can see followers who were buried underground emerging and starting to absorb oxygen, and well, new impressions of known works are the ultimate entertainment, aren't they?

▼ You should share your impressions of the content you've consumed using its official name.

There are several advantages to dabbling in new genres and casually sharing your impressions like this.

・You can easily involve sensitive "people who are looking for impressions of that genre." (Expansion of hobbies)
　↓
・Reaching "things that people who like that also like" becomes extremely easy. (Horizontal expansion of hobbies)
　↓
・You can read the impressions of people who entered the field because of your impressions (The circle of hobbies)
　

You can cover what is known as the "Three Principles of Multi-Hobbyism"— expansion, horizontal digging, and circularity—in a single flow. The third advantage, "circularity", is particularly important, and an internet saint I revere wrote this down.

When you see it on your timeline, your approach changes completely between "I've never seen it at all" and "I feel like someone mentioned it," so let's go ahead and post the official names of the things we like.

By you engaging with that work, the light of the internet spreads like a catalyst. Let's do this casually on both Twitter and Note.

▼ Impressions don't have to be positive opinions.

This is often misunderstood, but it's fine if your impressions of content aren't positive opinions. Existing readers and viewers of content actually crave "the movement of the heart while watching" and "fresh and multifaceted opinions." Your candid remarks will act as a primer, sparking new discussions, and by being bathed in the gazes of multiple genres, the work will stand out in three dimensions, and a circle of fresh impressions will spread.

Blindly devoted impressions of content are the challenge that the community (cluster) fears most. You don't need to worship that content. You should aim to build a wide-ranging contextual community where various impressions, including those about that content, can flow back and forth.

Example 1)
"That novel, the beginning is just so boring, does it get interesting?"
(Trust me and read a little more...)
"Oh, the boring development until now was... to flip it from here!?"
(Smiles)

Example 2)
"Isn't this movie a bit cynical?"
(I get it)
"Eh?"
(I also think that part is questionable)
"Right?"

Such a gentle world should be waiting.

▼ Keep on looping!

By actively talking about content, your network expands. You increase the breadth of your hobbies across the board, and more people enter the genre because of your influence. It's an ideal logical biotope. While circling, you add changes little by little, looping slightly higher or lower. Instead of Keep on Rolling, let's enjoy multi-hobbyism by Keep on Looping.

▼ To the future

The battles so far will become the driving force to break through the "Content Family Period" that follows. A state where content becomes flesh and blood, surrounded by the same type of cluster, and half-sectarianized. Because you can get agreement from those around you without having to say it out loud, you stop posting about the content. (I might do the Content Family Period another time -> I wrote it!)

The works loved by the [Obscure Cluster], which tends to generate collective hallucinations, are especially in need of fresh impressions. Since it's a healthy community where judging things on their own merits is the norm, some negative opinions are okay. They will fawn over newcomers, so it's a chance to train your #VesselOfFawning.

[Obscure Cluster]
A certain range of circles (clusters) that only love "works that require a large amount of contextual cost" to read. They are barbarians who converse in "incomprehensible jargon (high context)," but they have high intelligence and good sense, and possess a certain level of social skills. They had a strong desire to learn and publish, and created internet culture, including collective hallucinations, but went extinct due to overhunting in the early 21st century.
