Interesting post and one that makes me question whether my posts quality as the shit you refer to...I guess it makes no difference if there's one line of shit or 500+ words on each post as mine tend to be...Shit is shit right?

I enjoy writing though and so I continue to write about my travels, shooting and guns, some lifestyle stuff, philosophical and other observations, my life in general... I hope it's not seen as shit by those who may come past it but I guess some will.

I'm hoping HF21 will sort out some of the issues here next week (I think it's due in a week or so) and that I find a little more engagement on my posts that I mostly put a reasonable degree of effort into. Will I make more return on them? I don't know but still, I enjoy the engagement and the process of sharing my thoughts, some of my life and my ideas.

Nice post though @nonnameslefttouse the way you get your message across I mean.

The first post I ever saw come out of you, was you, running around shooting guns! I was like, this is fucking awesome!

Sometimes saying less, is more. I've pulled off some pretty damn cool art posts where I barely said a word.

Just do you. Is being one of the 1589 people all doing the same post those people being themselves? They're just scrambling for some tokens. There's a Bitcoin post on trending, talking about the value being up so much. It was outdated and irrelevant within hours and now it's going to sit there taking up space for days. A story about your life, like a memory, will live forever. It's not always about content, it's about the people and the personalities too. And you certainly didn't see me talking about shit personalities now did you.

These changes coming up will take time. It won't be an overnight success. In theory, and eventually, things should start to get better. The next step is marketing and I hope they don't market it to content producers... because we need consumers. Those are the ones standing to benefit from this change the most, and if we have more of them, then us content producers start seeing the benefits.

I hear you, and thanks for the comment about me running around shooting which I do a lot. I'm always a little careful about gun stuff...You know, some people like to target people like me with their lefty bullshit rainbow vegan soy milk opinons, not that it is an issue for me, just that it would taint my enjoyment if that happened

I figure my blog is a record of me and at some stage I may look back and enjoy seeing me from a different perspective, the way I thought, acted etc.

I would do more video but dtube never works for me. I don't know if it's a Mac (MacBook air) thing but it drives me mad. So, I write words.

We'll see how it turns out I guess and hope something happens here as I've put in 2 solid years of effort and would be nice if that came to something. I'm hopeful.

Thanks for replying. 😊

P.s. No running around shooting tomorrow (Saturday) making ammo instead. (Shooting means a whole lot of boring bullshit later...) 😁 Still, I don't mind making ammo. I just put some tunes on and get after it. Sometimes I sing out loud...But it's tortuous for anyone within earshot. 🙉

What I do, when I'm doing it, confuses people, especially at first. Some have targeted people like the characters I sometimes use when I write. @NoNamesLeftToUse The Writer/Artist Himself is not me. Mr Himself is not me. This Man is not me. Sometimes people are angry with me over something they said. The Writer/Artist Himself can be a bit arrogant at times. Larger than life itself. So some think I'm arrogant. I mean, I might have my problems, but they're actually angry with a caricature. I'm doing that on purpose, like a wrestler would, so if they're angry with those characters, that means I'm doing a good job. I mean, some days, I'd probably hate those guys too. A lot of those post are meant to be entertainment. Sometimes I'll step out of character, do a post like this; I'm sure at least one person out there is pissed off about it. Can't please everyone. Sometimes, if the flak rolls in, those can actually turn into some pretty good conversations. Just do your thing.

Good advice. In real life I do a good job of being the best version of myself that I can and generally here also, I hold back on the gun stuff at times, but I agree that haters will hate no matter what.
