Late Night Ramblin's: Vol 11 - Reflecting On My Use Of Social Media
I started getting onto social media back in 2009. Facebook, Youtube, Bebo, MSN Messenger were the first of those sites. Later came Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok and maybe some others that I no longer remember haha.
When I joined Facebook for a few years, I was addicted and took it as a competition to how many friends you have and would add random people who had similar interests or who had good convos with online in the comments section and yes some of them I still talk to today. Others are long gone and dust in the wind, to many there was nothing evil behind the nature of why I stopped talking or removed them from my Facebook account. Over time, I grew to realize I should not be so open and trusting of strangers and also just keep to people who actually know me and I see or talk to often or who I actually like. Instagram had the same treatment when I joined that site, I'd let anyone follow me and grow my followers, I did have 300 followers, but then I realized not many were liking my stuff or seeing my posts and some become inactive accounts, so I had to clear a lot of that out. There has been one person I did not want to unfollow or remove as a friend, and she did nothing wrong, but in the pandemic I was in a bad mentality of believing no one liked me or cared about me, and I was not hearing off some people or seeing them, and so they were removed for that reason. No one also tells you how addicting it can be to get likes, but over time I have cared less about that whole thing. My social media now is just keep in touch with friends and family and keep highlights and photos for memories. I have been a fool as I have grown up with social media and yes absolutely posted cringe photos and posts and rants.
When I joined Twitter aka X, It was literally to talk to celebs, wrestlers, bands because that website launched and everyone was saying how "All the celebs are really on there and use that" and It's always a rush when a famous face likes or retweets or replies to you in any way shape or form. I never expect it and screenshot and keep record of those moments because it is just an unexpected rush of happiness. I have been a dumbass on Twitter too and posted cringe and argued over silly and stupid things because I was a stupid teenager. These days I just use Twitter to talk to my friends I made there in America who only use Twitter.
YouTube, I cared about getting views but never had the funds to get better equipment and to get the better views and quality content from gaming. When I finally had a capture card system for my XBOX 360 it was something I could not set up and any help I had well no one could get it to work with my laptop and Xbox, it was weird and a shame it did not work out. Yes these days I do still do YOUTUBE, but I rarely post and the videos are just for my friends and for memory's sake at this point as I capture our dumb and funny moments gaming and any glitches haha.
TikTok I joined in Pandemic as I was sick of friends sending me stuff and then had to click to try and watch on the app and download the app, and eventually I made one and made some TikToks that I thought be fun to do or chime in on and yeah I ain't posted on there in months. YouTube and TikTok have given me plenty of warnings and content removals, and that does dampen the fun and experience of those sites.
Twitch, I only use twitch to talk to friends and watch their stuff now and again, I don't make content there at all. Msn, Skype & Bebo I used early on in my social life and those sites have been dead for years. Just used to talk to friends on there and that was it. Discord is another I delete and got back a few times because of friends. I mainly use Discord to talk to one of my English friends there, as he hates social media and is not on any now. Snapchat I use every day, mostly talking to my pretty lady or my friends or old friends from work. Whatsapp, I only use for work, nothing else.
So yes, in closing, my use of social media has dwindled down over the years, and now they are treated as conversation points and highlight reels. It is crazy to look back at it all and think in the last 20 years of how much has changed, yes it's not quite 20 years yet, but it's close. Youtube was so good before Google took over. Facebook had games, and now it's trying to be its own cyberverse thing being dubbed Meta and of course Facebook owns more than just Facebook now.

Late Night Ramblin's: Vol 2 - Sad But Tr-U-Tube
I have a YouTube channel been on YouTube almost 10 years. It's not going anywhere hasn't been for a while sadly. I stopped caring. I let the hate and negativity get to me aswell and I got mad due to it. Some day's I'd get sad due to it aswell.
My channel still stands it's "1stmetalgod" btw. I still post but I don't get views or anything none like I used to. I was never paid to do YouTube that would have been awesome but it never happened.
What's on my YouTube? Gaming clips, vlogs, stunts, comedy, enlightenment, entertainment a basic wide variety.
Why did I do YouTube? For fun and I have a passion for creating of course. For years I didn't have good gear as many others did and I suppose that's my downfall well one of.
When you have family who say "you're videos should be more entertaining and family friendly" I know and I agree. I went into YouTube thinking of myself not others.
I didn't have a good logo in particular. I had a few made for me which I love and appreciate the people who did them and their work of course but nothing which like stood out.
I didn't have any particular warming over the top openers or closers. I'm pretty self conscious and lack self esteem and confidence which I can blame on having a shitty school life what with being bullied and all. It's basically ruined everything.
So as you can see its been rough for me. What I did have however is 260 subscribers, views and comments and subscribers from all across the world and I've made some really truly special friends along the way. I can't thank everyone enough those who have stuck with me on my channel for so many years.
I don't think this is the end just yet but maybe it's the realisation of what was and the inspection of what will come.
Thanks for reading :)
