Social media is too much work. I did it for years successfully but am burnt out on it. Maybe with my cow it'll be different, but my donkey currently gets jealous if I am on my phone around her a lot. She starts using her lips to tug at my clothes in fustration, starts licking me, and puts her nose righhhhht up in my face like, "why you touching that cube so much? I am right here and way better." She makes me laugh. I have been OK with her doing that though because phones--especially with social media--seem to be a bit of a leach into my daily peace. I like being fully at peace just sitting in my lawn chair for hours talking to my donkey.
I'd rather share an organic, casual peak experiance where people can see how the animals are doing than a filtered edited view-grabbing experiance. Things like people who have depression that find they benifit from hugging and petting my mini cow for free. If they're feeling down right that moment, they can reach out to the cow that helps them live and hopefully that will help them in that moment of depression.
I feel like I medically need a pet cow. You have no idea what I mean I am sure, but there's something with my brain that really loves cows and understands them.
I have the time, experiance, land, and 17k; I feel I can get a cow. Then I think of other people who might feel like I do--some of which like I have said have broken down in tears talking with me about cows--and I feel empathetic for those who don't have the time, land, experiance, or money. I want those people to have access to my cow for free, including a little spy cam in their soon to be built heated barn with 24/7 access if they need to see the cow for a moment of mental health crisis.
Then if the cow isn't there, shucks. That's why I thought of the treat thing. Maybe instead of monitizing it, I can simply give people credits to use via Javascript? That way she only gets so many treats a day ha. The animal's health, happiness, and wellbeing must come first.
