The post is impressive but anyone else feel a bit icky about the comments here? Numbering out the advantages in lists? The phrasing, the exciting exclamation mark(!). This comment section feels like some kind of marketing exercise.

I asked ChatGPT and it told me it was marketing.

But what is it marketing, though? Buying 40-year-old cameras in car parks? I already do that, no need to sell me on it.

It's the Big Video8 cartel astroturfing.

Really? I'm the author and I can't conceive of any way this could be considered marketing. It's a personal project, I'm selling nothing.

But I am looking for work, so hey, if anyone is hiring and they enjoyed the post, then email me.

Maybe you could ask ChatGPT how to get more gigs saying ChatGPT every third paragraph.

I'll have to try that next time
