The corporate sites tend to annoy me so I hardly use them.
I've corporate sites are mostly cesspits these days and unless you are looking for something in particular (YouTube) the algorithm feeds you tons of AI slop. I rarely use it anymore and there is a growing backlash to the tripe being offered up.
Thanks for mentioning the new member @kath017 she is a good writer from what I read and has a story to tell.
Good advice on finding the right communities for your interests. It makes sense.
I read the @blanchy post it was a shocker to see what has happened with some of these characters.
I gave up on some other sites and only use some to stay in touch with friends. Youtube is useful if you are selective, but can suck you in.
I just noticed I didn't finish the title on this post :) I'll add something.
Yeah we have to be very selective on YouTube. They've ruined it.
I don't use any social media at all anymore. I haven't for years. It's just a big time suck and my time is more important to me as is my mental health 🤣👍
I find some good stuff on running and drumming on Youtube. I don't know where else I'd go for that sort of thing as it's not on Hive, yet. I don't really get Instagram. I like that Hive can have some deep reads as they can be better than a video.
I'm glad you said that 'yet' YouTube and Google is a monopoly and as such is the goto place for video atm but there are other platforms like Nebula which is owned by the creators.
It's been around for years but whenever some big YouTuber states they are moving to Nebula they basically lose all their subscribers.
Maybe one day people will use 3speak in the same way. 👍
