No Matter What Gets You Down, Power-up! ~ Why I Benched My Alternative Social Medias (all except Steemit and Vidme)steemCreated with Sketch.

in #blog7 years ago

Hi you Steemian lovelies. Just a quick, well, I dare say BLOG POST rather than article of professionally researched data! I'm gonna try not to OCD over edit nor over think the writing of this one draft, should it still need to auto save as well as be benched itself (LOL) but on the other hand it would help if I went back into this OP later on to type in a Vidme video link/thumbnail and description visual, that, by the way, directly compliments the topic of this Steemit post - in a similar way that my architectural BitChute + Steemit pair up was supposed to perform out... Maybe I should update on that too.

Anyways, let's start with a quick few images. As of late I got over my laziness and realized hao 2 avahtahr (albeit this time it was because I didn't know "profile image url" meant that copying the link address mattered enough to use that). And let's see if my Minds' esque link graphics skills will come hither (no offense, Bill Ottoman: I'll come back someday!):

 https://vid.me/nodetact

That space bar entering should have made that link above me become a video like it should have on Minds, and automatically even without a space key on Gab (Andrew Torba, forgive my ass...). Otherwise, just click the cobalt colored and underlined text and you'll be taken to my Vidme channel, one of which also is linked via my Steemit profile as well.

Something worthy of noting, while I'm still talking about this, is that "Diagnoseer @nodetact" is not only the brand identity I chose to work with in both professional and leisurely terms, it's also based on the names and concepts of a claymation series I came up with called Project Tether. In fact, I could have been way more chill and relaxed when picking my user and display names, but I really, really thought long and hard (lel kek), especially since Steemit permeates your username with your Steem/Power/Dollars/etc. gained through the blockchain and cryptocurrency assigned alongside that account, about having an online presence with a driving story, quest and meaning. And that's what rings true with my usage of Minds, Gab, Steemit, BitChute plus Vidme and possible other kinds of the alternative platforms.

And that's why I'm being more considerate when I acted on my current situation and customization to go for only two.

So what, after maybe overcoming my pornography addiction months down the road following NoFap journeys one after the other, having a better grasp of what life can and should be for me even if it still doesn't make as much sense ever still, going for whatever makes me either happy, successful or well adjusted otherwise, and even going back into Minds, Gab and BitChute all over again given the energy as well as necessities to do so, should I feel like I'm clumsy? I mean, I do virtually everything for a reason, and even this one post here that I'm trying VERY HARD to not over edit nor think, like I said earlier, so as to post it much sooner and/or cohesively as possible, isn't lanky in those senses.

Here is why I chose the configuration that I did:

-Because only using mainstream social media with Vidme is overrated.

-Because only using Steemit and BitChute for encryption is overrated.

-Because not using social media at all, mainstream or alternative, is overrated.

-Because not using social media in well paced, high-quality spans is overrated.

-Because I write insightful stuff all the time expecting to get paid lots (Steemit).

-Because I learned how to content create videos for a warming family (Vidme).

-Because I'm mysterious, omniscient, versatile, essential and sound (M.O.V.E.S.).

If not for the sole dividend that I am doing quite poorly in my recent community college's academics in the eyes of my family (ask me, and of course I'll "blindly" tell you I don't regret having a 1.6 GPA throwing me into academic suspension), then it's at least including out that after slightly more than twenty years of being one of the most widely influential people's role model in our shouldering generation, I felt that even the slightest form of recognition is a lot.

Even if getting myself off to a great living with things not limited to what I potentially earn from my nowadays online presence setup actually comes through to let everyone involved in my career path not limited to pesky family (I love them, I just don't trust them - despite the fact they're all intellectuals) steer clear from my new coming uprising, it hurts that this whole time whether I was having a good or a bad time growing up (it would not be an exaggeration to say that at age 20 I'm still a young, handsome and energetic boy concerning people that'd give anything if they were in even their mid-20s again) that I never truly found out whether I had a huge ego because I truly was meant for bigger and brighter things in life, or if it was just some sort of desperate construct to prevent myself from committing suicide.

No matter, I'll just keep on pushing. I may be a confusing amalgam of being vaguely broad and specifically detailed, but I still have my direction. And as controversially dangerous as that direction may be, trust that it is in good hands.

A few more bullet notes to throw out there what I'm doing as of late:

-All of my Steemit posts will be powered up at all costs literally, even if the money I could have earned from Steem and Steem Dollars was enough to pay the rent if I were to one day be given the choice (kicked out of my families' houses would be better, honestly LMAO) to live on my own and therefore essentially speaking be utilized for reason enough to sacrifice what I would otherwise have had with more efficient audience engagements via being a Blue Whale here.

-Steemit as far as the Diagnoseer @nodetact brand/identity will be dedicated to its own online presence for the most part, but I will still somehow remember and be inspired to interact with other Steemian's content, not limited to the followers I already track down for my favorite kinds of feeds.

-Voting power? Resteeming? Tipping? I'll try to moderate my usages of these more respectively, at least soon enough!

-On Vidme, I'll apply for verification THIS WEEKEND and expect a response from the alumni/staff the coming Monday or Tuesday. As of now I have 39/50 followers suggested for verification unless I use social media alongside my Vidme channel. I don't know nor am I aware of using alternative social media as far as counting for this criteria, but when it comes to using this place as well as their unofficial Discord server, not even being without some of THEIR used social medias is too much of a hassle! We'll see what happens, until then, using up more than 3GB per week has never been more of a pipe dream for the kind of amateur content creator that I've been since mid-June to this day!

-Diagnoseer @nodetact on Vidme, when verified, will be fully monetized and complete with a set of subscription models that are separately perked out (4 plus 1 possible funnel tactic tier of $1). They're not quite based on my wants or needs, though I do have plans for the money I happen to receive which definitely includes equipment upgrades.

-If you comment or DM me on Vidme, not only will I most likely see and even respond to you at this point, I'll be able to see it in my Outlook email as well once I clean up my inbox and message subscriptions! But since Steemit is tethered to my Gmail permanently until an option to move it elsewhere (maybe even a ProtonMail someday...) exists, you guys are just going to have to settle down with the short stick for now, albeit I am very avid and detail oriented enough to notice when I'm getting replies among other forms of audience engagement as far as this Reddit alternative.

Alright, that should settle for now on this "quick update" blog post (still remember, heh!). Remember, folks: "You never know what you don't know." Always be the best you there can be - unless you want to be better than me on my path to be the best there is period, then you're gonna obtain that title with an eternal grudge from me personally! Feel free to upvote, comment, resteem, tip, share and whatever else you may desire to do in my aid! Thanks for reading all of this!

When light becomes the absence of darkness, and a different kind of darkness is a whole new light... Promote yourself,

Sort:  

There may not actually be an incoming Vidme video to co-op with this blog post but I think it's fair to note that I haven't produced any videos even since buffing my upload schedule to 3 videos/week. On the unofficial Vidme Discord, I DID however say that I was going for at least 4 Steemit articles per week as well, so I figured. By the way, is Steem really gonna trend up by entire dollars in the coming years? If so, it doesn't mean a lot to me - at least not yet! (don't take it personally, I mean this in a logical sense, not entirely emotional)
