How do you use social media?

I never quite got a handle of the best use for social media platforms.

I think I must spend the majority of my time watching YouTube videos.

I am not sure if I would really consider YouTube to be a social media platform. Beyond the comments section, there is little interaction with viewers.

I tried my hardest to adapt to the likes of Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter when they were just starting out. It was all just so foreign to me.

Especially Facebook. I mean my friends were just a walk away or I would see them in class. I didn’t see the need for it.

My Instagram account is just mostly pictures of food or the garden. I also made a separate account for gaming stuff.

I did use reddit for a long time to talk about doing games and offers in Swagbucks and other services. In fact, some of my early successes with this site came from what I learned from blogging subreddit.

At some point though I deleted my reddit account. I don’t recall why I thought it needed to be so.

Twitter never really took off for me. I don’t think my tag use was good. I would either use too many or not enough.

I also tried my hand at Tumblr, but I didn’t like all the adult content on the platform. No matter how many times I blocked someone or said I wasn’t interested, the site kept pushing adult content into my feed.

Instagram also has a problem with mature content. There are many accounts that are used to disseminate adult content despite the terms of service.

Reporting those accounts is useless. No humans are involved in the process and bad actors have free run of the platform.

The world of social media can be dangerous. You need to stay alert and be careful of what you click on.

That’s it for now.
