Hello everyone of the Steemit community. My name is Autumn Asphodel and this is my very first post and time using this site. It was suggested to me by several people after I discussed how I was being censored on YouTube and no one was getting notified of my new content. You can check out those videos here: Part 1 & Part 2. I literally show in part 2 how YouTube monetizes videos that clearly violate their guidelines as long as it's from a company. Individuals and small channels, however, get screwed over with false violations of "not suitable for all advertisers." Having over 100,000 subscribers and barely reaching anyone with my new videos was a clear sign of censorship, and YouTube and Facebook have proven this too me. However, while Facebook and Twitter want you to pay money to reach your full audience, YouTube doesn't make it that clear and just blocks your video from notifying people who have specifically set to receive notifications.

This brings up the question as to why I'm now using Steemit. After carefully thinking it over, I decided to give it a try. I have no expectations and will just see what happens. I'm not in it for money, despite that I am good with my finances even with the very little I now make from YouTube ad revenue (a 60% reduction compared to last year), but rather to just see if I can get my message across to my followers without being censored by all the social media platforms.

About Me

A little bit about me. I am a transgender woman who has battled with severe mental problems ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, and dissociation. Not only did the struggle with my gender identity play a big impact on my mental health, but so has the trauma I endured as a child. I publicly share all of this in my YouTube videos as there is no need to hide or be ashamed. I've overcome many of my struggles which is why I share my knowledge of how to heal naturally and effectively, getting to the root cause of the problem and resolving them.

That brings us to what I oppose and am shifting my focus towards: the fake science revolving around mental illness being solely the cause of a chemical imbalance where psychiatric medications are given to 'fix' this. Not only is the chemical imbalance theory hypothetical, but the method by which it's being 'treated' is extremely damaging to the mind and body of the individual, especially children which greatly concerns me. Because of this, I see the vicious cycle of modern medicine: health problems are being caused by environmental toxins, multiple medications are prescribed to counteract this and then counteract one another. I'm speaking up against this and my voice will be heard.

Thanks for reading! Will check out more of this site and see where it goes. You can also check out my website which is a great source for getting my message out there. YouTube use to be until this past year. So for now, YouTube is just a place I host my videos until I can fully move over to hosted videos on my website.
