Thoughts on social media



Change is needed. I stopped spending time on Instagram. 
For a second or two, I missed seeing how folks and animals are doing. I also thinned out what I watch on YouTube.

Doing others things instead, fluffs things up for me. I’ve learned that not all creators are skilled in being sensitive to their audience. Creators can be so wrapped up in their lives, they fail to consider people are also waiting, wondering, expecting news. 

Viewers have to accept creators have things going on in their lives that they don’t want to or may not be ready to share. When to vs when not to is a fine balance. Think adjustments. 

Telling the audience news, but withhold the particulars, some very basic, until the video next week I feel, is disappointing and hugely inconsiderate.
When things like that happen, I unsubscribe or block. The same on social media as in real life. If you don’t like the service, then don’t go back. People prefer places where the experiences are good. 

Social media can provide perspective. Managing the time spent as well as building favorites helps enhance the experience.
