I've got to build myself back, but this time I must do it outside the walls of social media
For over a decade, social media was the answer for many of us to our social woes, in that social media allowed us to amplify our thoughts and to be heard and responded to by others. It was a great fun ride during it's hey day, but now for most, those days are long gone.
Social media has now been hi-jacked by the very types it was set up to counter, and that is capitalistic pigs who only care about profit.
As such, posts, websites, this and that site, that years ago would organically get a tone of views, now are barely on the blimp, not because they're not good sites or blogs, but rather causee in this era of profit driven algerythms, they're just buried and don't come up in searches anymore.
Notice, millions of websites, yet only like maybe 100 or less links come up in searches?
So, if you have a site, how can others find it if it doesn't come up on searches?
So then that means you have to pay a agency to artificially boost your site, yadda yadda yadda, and so inters corruption and greed and the highest bidder or wealthiest payer always getting a leg up.
As such, well, if I'm to rebuild my life, I can't do it through social media anymore, which seems totally empty and void to me at this stage.
Where only 'difference makers' are allowed to 'get out', seen and heard...well to me, everyone has a chance to be a difference maker if others could but hear them.
=======================================
I'm just tired of the game, tired of the meaningless likes, meaningless comments, meaningless thumbs up, it's all meaningless and unhealthy, and in the end will leave you feeling void on the inside.
I don't need 'X' formerly twitter, or Facebook or threads or any of it anymore...they're all just empty chambers to me, people you'll never meet, people who aren't interested in actually helping you.
This time around, when, if able to, rebuild my social environment, social media will play a very limited role in that process.
My new life will be about real people, real agencies, stuff I can touch, people I can see on a daily basis.
