I love it when people have YouTube content they've produced in their profile.

Makes it easier for me to gauge them as a person.

I am mainly on tik tok. Easier to make videos than on Youtube. I have Youtube too, but it never really went anywhere other than that one AI video having 80,000 views. And since I cant bother to post on both, I decided to mainly stick to tik tok because tik tok is much better than youtube in many ways, video creation being one of more important things. My only issue with tik tok is insane censorship, where basically every offensive word is censored.

I'd figure it 'is easier to stick with one platform.

. . . Though one might reach more people by using as many platforms as possible?

Social media is the best way to reach people like your Tik Tok, YouTube, Meta and Twitter.

Yes, you reach most people by having most platforms. Same with online sales, selling on multiple platforms improves rate of sales.


However, when it comes to social life and posting content, posting on more than one platform is a lot of bother. Posting on just 2 platforms is double more work. Posting on 3 or 4 platforms becomes like a job which doesnt really pay off, because you also have to respond to comments and follows, and doing all that on 4 platforms means spending hours a day doing just that.


I use tik tok because its easiest platform to gain followers. I have more followers on one tik tok account than on all other platforms combined, almost 3000 followers.


tik tok has an established system where you gain followers easily by following and liking other people, because its easy to notify people that you exist.

Yeah, I dont have 3000 followers in real life. Reaching 3000 people in real life would probably be a lot more work.

It all depends on how you are received. Trump had millions of followers on Twitter before he was banned.

I sometimes wonder whether propaganda profiles and bots act horribly, so that people will take the opposite stance.

X supported bot says horrible stuff supporting Y, so that people will side with X.

I'm doubtful the right of protest allows people to block traffic and ambulances.

To my thinking right to protest, means right to publicly voice your opinion, which can be done outside, in big groups, 'ideally with permits.

Permits, that one does 'not block necessary services.


. . . Not all groups are 'protests though, crowd of impromptu observers and commentators can occur, when police or ICE appear in a location.

Such is not illegal.

What is the purpose of protest in America?

I am unsure, I have never studied it.


. . . In my view it is 'not to block traffic, ambulance, or hospital.


It is to make a view and idea 'visible, that people might rally and follow it.

In my view it is 'more locale than national,

The back of the bus for blacks, was removed because the community was made aware of how it was a problem.

Protests allowed them to gather together and locally boycott.


. . . Wars, Vietnam,

I suppose protests can 'also effect nationally.

Show a significant number of the people are unhappy.

Keep ideas in public consciousness and action at large.


I sometimes wonder if internet has 'fractured America more than unite it.

Distracted people, yes TV did so before, but internet is more powerful than TV, TV is single household box, no many internet tabs, limited to TV remote and channels.

Protesting helps people exercise their first amendment rights and that is useful in creating a more equitable society.

I enjoy reading the comments section more than watching the video themselves sometimes.

The written comments give you a variety of feedbacks.

Switchback to random thought and skip the resolutions.

If a company gave homeless people free clothing of good quality with their logos on it,

Would that be good advertising?

Edit post

I rather like small YouTube channels sometimes,

Better opportunity to have one's comments heard and responded to, if there are not some thousand comments already.

Generally speaking, people are not confronted with the trolley problem,

It is not set before them, they cannot see it, whether the tracks or the far ends they lead to.


Thinking of Warhammer recently,

And I think of war in reality.

It 'does seem an edge, a fine point, everything cut away.

. . . The trolley situations are forced before a person.

Actions and choices leading to great suffering in either direction.


The horrible nature of choice extreme before a person.

No matter the choice, people will die, will suffer.

Does it matter if said suffering is 'near?


To intentionally kill X civilians,

Or to unintentionally kill XX civilians.

Yet if one 'knows one's actions will kill XX civilians, can it 'be unintentional?


Yet in the specifics, rarely do people accept being the sacrifice as 'right.

Even if it saves more people.


An old tale, those who walk away,

Yet sometimes there 'is no walking away I think.

Inaction 'still seems to me sometimes, a choice, an action, though not all agree.

. . .


A bad and a worse choice, heh, I recall that being a theme in Fable 3, but one could get around that in that game.

Since the people receiving the clothing are homeless, they would be seen outdoors with the good quality clothes which would serve as good advertising.

I'm thinking of buying a new pair of underpants.


Had the current ones for five years so plenty of life in them yet, though a few minutes in the microwave would sort that out.


So if you know of a homeless person in need Debs.



This was a genuine thought inspired by you.


Though responses in this thread are never random.

Sorry we were interrupted. I will have to check around. It’s -19 degrees out here. People will be worrying about warm jackets more than underwear.

Believing or Following Policy, either one.


Maybe knowing 'why you believe something, is overrated.

Some forms of knowledge and logic are complicated,

It's easier to forget about 'why you believed in something,

And instead remember that in the past after a bunch of effort, you decided X was worth believing.

Even if you don't remember 'why you believe in X 'currently.


Or does this become more akin to not existing?

I think, therefore I am.
