I wish I had the courage to back out of gmail also, but that's more complicated cause gmail is connected to youtube and other stuff.
And Youtube still the best video sharing platform out there.
And believe it or not, youtube more popular than Netflix, Hulu, Disney plus, Amazon, all of them.
Anyways, enough about social media.

Still getting used to life outside of twitter.
Twitter is like junk food, it's bad for you but can still be addictive.
I mean even millionares be on their shows begging people to follow them on twitter.
Do they know no shame?
Hogging all the attention from start ups.
Older W males have some of the most inflated egos ever, at least in the West.
In the East it's Arab and Indian men.
Men, males, older ones, are the biggest divas in the world, don't fool yourself.

social media has left me with an empty, voided, gutted of a life.
If could do it again, wish I had planned my social media time and or strategy way better.

I can actually say I feel better about self since quitting twitter, or now 'X', looks like they copied the logo on here.
That aside, nor did I follow 'threads'...I think most of us have just outgrown that crap.
As users, we don't gain anything, we just waste our time and emotions on those sights, where algorythms tell you what to see.

Not into social media anymore, just not.
There actually is no more social media.
You can no longer find sites online, cause google doesn't even share website links anymore, unless you specifically type it in....but in the past 1000's of people would randomly land on your site do to random searches, those days are long gone.
Social media is now, for me anyways, the most loneliest spot on earth, and is why I quit twitter, and not joining FB or any other site.
It's time for me to start living outside of the net again, I've always wasted so much of my time, life, pursing meaningless, useless views.

Each day, as of late, each week, as of late, I grow less and less interested in social media, and I blame social media engineers for that...why?
Cause now it's simply a place where winners and losers are chosen based on, not actual ideas, but rather based on social standing, as in celebrities vs the common person.
Social media was originally designed to give common people their own space, but now that space, that bid for attention, has been all steered towards fake, shallow, difference makers, and has reduced people like me and others to no more than 'commenters'....and 3rd party cookies, spies and lies, and apple pies.

I've given up on social media, after realizing someone from the inside has to like you, approve of you, in order for your videos, or blogs, or podcasts, to take off and get exposure.
Wasn't always like that, but now it is.
Those behind the scenes control all the publicity valves, as such, what's the point.

I don't do 'X', facebook, tiktok, or any of it anymore, just a waste of time for a common user like me.
Celebs, and difference makers (whatever the f that means), are the only ones who are allowed to shine.
And now you have to have a monthly subscription on many of those platforms....definitely not every day people platforms anymore.
All the regular, everyday people have been shoved aside or just left on their own.

I've all but given up on social media, not sure what purpose it serves me anymore.
I've wasted hours upon hours, years ago on it, had websites, had this, had that, nothing ever became of any of it, never so much as made a friend, well maybe one, but we never met, but were telephone friends for nearly a decade, but other than them, nothing.
Unless famous, or powerful 'a difference maker', your voice will be muted on social media now.
Social media is no longer for small ordinary people, they just need us to participate so they can sell our info.
I guess I'm just fading, have real life issues to worry about, I suppose.

I guess I still have an active account on 'X' or twitter.
How do I know this?
Cause while paying a bill, using a internet providers email address, I guess I used that address to sign up for twitter, and closed all accounts down but that one.
I'm still getting notifications of when people tweet.
I wonder if it's even worth trying to sign back in?
I had it before Elon took over, no telling how hard it would be to sign back in under his reign.
I just don't have time for twitter games anymore, it's not that important of a place to me anymore.

The reason why I don't do well on social media is cause I'm to broad, I'm to artistically broad.People, in the real world, who think they know me as being one way, would be shocked at my artistical range, and it would create conflict. The thing about social media, is everyone wants you to be one thing all the time, I can't do or be that, I'm to broad. Sometimes I express my soxier side, other times I express my macho side, sometimes I express anti-God rhetoric, other times I champion for morality, and so forth. I'm not just one thing or 'being' all the time, I suppose in the past I could of been, but fate hasn't directed me that way. Nature always seeks a balance...usually a man seeks his beautiful side through a woman, and vice versa, or curious side through offspring, ect. But when alone, you have to be all those things within yourself in order to create balance.

Social media has been anything but friendly to me.

I think I'm going to get on TikTok, I really do think I could 'blow up' there, as in lots of followers and whatever, that way I could sell book or books I'm writing.
So what if China spies, life is short, so what...heck, I have no secrets that any one cares about.

I think I'm going to say 'Yes' to Tik Tok, again, but this time with a better understanding of what I'm getting into
And yes, I've heard all the negative things about how TT spies on it's users, but then again, who doesn't now days?
And TT seems to still be the only platform that still can, will, propel ordinary people to popular heights, cause YT and FB and or Twitter (X) sure don't anymore, on those sites, unless already big, they just bury you....you're videos get like zero views, or a few every month, if that.
Your videos are like unsearchable on YT now.
I just want to use TT to promote other stuff I got going on, like books, ect.
So ye, I may give it another try.
And of China spies on me, oh well, but actually with billions of bits of info, I hardly doubt anything I do would get their attention.

Face Book begs you to join, then as soon as you do you get locked out of your account by stupid 'AI' reasoning.
And sad thing is, is that they don't care.
AI will be the end of humanity.
