The Search For Social Media Freedom

The Search For Social Media Freedom

Seems that in a society of cancel culture and political correctness, the idea of freedom of speech online is a urban myth. As its currently structured the juggernauts of Facebook Twitter And YouTube along with Reddit have reinforced this narrative to the highest degree. 

 

So much so that i'm certain that you've stopped yourself on multiple occasions on expressing how you truely feel in fear of an admin or moderator silencing you and ending your social media life.

It shouldn't be this way....

I found myself searching the Internet for viable alternatives to this situation and have found 2 that deserve my social media energy

As you know ...Social Media is an Advertisers Playground
They Generate Hundreds of Millions of dollars of revenue for your active engagement on their platforms while bombarding you with suggestive ads based on the data you feed them

Complex A.I Learn your patterns, behaviors, beliefs, disbeliefs and get sold to those willing to pay for it

Your reward for all of this? nothing monetary.

and even if you gather a following of people who enjoy your social media prowess ; they siphon an insane amount of revenue off your hard work and content.

All that hard work and ad revenue you generate for these platforms u still have to tiptoe between their overbearing guidelines and a slip up can get all those hours put into your channel, blog etc. permanently banned.

Again, It shouldn't be this way 

People, knowing this still go back to them.. back to the abusers of free speech. free will... while leeching off your creativity.
