Your "Likes" Aren't Yours and They're Mostly "Worthless Clicks"
3 days ago: "How Many Friends Do You Have?"
Social control media is a waste of everybody's time. It is addictive, sure, so addicts won't realise this. Too busy chasing their next "fix".
Digg.com is off to a rocky start with slop and scammers. I hear that some influential YouTubers are being deranked if not shadowbanned. Some of them set up "backup accounts" (yes, in YouTube also!), perhaps missing the point or totally failing to grasp the core issue. Unless they run their own site/platform, they'll be at someone else's mercy - someone totally un-attentive, uncaring about their goals/beliefs.
Social control media has proven to be mostly unprofitable time and time again over the past two decades. Social control media can help sell ads, but in Twitter's case the ad revenue never offset the considerable costs, including hosting, staff, legal cases etc. That's why the company was so deep in debt and ultimately sold to a high bidder whose plans for Twitter were sinister, self-serving (at the expense of users) and so on.
If all you have "left" from so-called 'social' control 'media' [sic] is a bunch of old memories and some "likes", then maybe you have managed to measure accomplishments in life using false metrics/yardsticks (like some private database owned and controlled by somebody else). 3 days ago we published: "How Many Friends Do You Have?"
No, seriously. How many people do you regularly meet in person?
Some modern technology (so-called 'technology', check the topology) isolates and impoverishes people while giving those people the exact opposite sentiment (empowerment, popularity and so forth).
"Alone together" is the motto. Lonely people stay lonely and talk to other lonely people... this is not "social life".

Social hermits are not popular, irrespective of how many "Facebook friends" or "likes" they get. Clickfraud Spamnil still cheats YouTube. About 97% of his video "views" are bots; he pays for fakes. He's still at it and the Linux Foundation pays him to do this. This is sad, aside from fraudulent. █
