00:00:00.000Greetings Subscribing Tons! Today I want to talk a bit about the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
00:00:06.000No, okay, not really. The decline and fall of Twitter.
00:00:11.000But before I begin to do so, I would like to share some absolutely glorious news.
00:00:15.000We have a new pair of MMA shorts over at leggeogloria.com.
00:00:19.000Absolutely satisfied with them. The cut, the material, the design, the feel, everything.
00:00:26.000Swedish company, made in Poland, Hungarian designer and of Greek myth.
00:00:31.000So, team Mother Europe all the way. Very happy with them, as I said. Check it out. First link in the description box below.
00:00:39.000Now, on to the topic at hand about Twitter. I will first and foremost talk about my own relationship with Twitter.
00:00:49.000I will talk about my feelings. It's okay for men to talk about their feelings.
00:00:53.000So, if we're talking about Facebook in its heyday, yeah, that was a platform I really liked.
00:00:59.000Really enjoyed it. Got something, you know, good value out of it.
00:01:02.000Up until I got banned on Instagram, I really liked the platform as well. Good stuff, good stuff.
00:01:08.000YouTube, of course. I can honestly say that, yeah, I loved YouTube. At least back in the day.
00:01:14.000It's a bit different now though, when I'm shadow banned and if I'm lucky I can reach out to my own subscribers.
00:01:20.000That's also why I make exclusive content on Odyssey. Because I can still see it growing there.
00:01:28.000Even if I can't grow on YouTube. And that's also why I've had a bit more motivation and joy in making videos as of late.
00:01:36.000Because I can grow that platform. Now, Twitter itself, I have 20 or 21 thousand subscribers.
00:01:45.000I don't know how many users they have purged. But it's a platform where I have, you know, effortlessly grown.
00:01:53.000I haven't put in any effort at all. Especially compared to YouTube or Instagram where I've actually put in a lot of work over all these years.
00:02:01.000Twitter, however, it's a platform you don't really need to put in a lot of work, a lot of thought, a lot of effort.
00:02:07.000If I were to get banned tomorrow on Twitter, I wouldn't be particularly sad.
00:02:14.000Most guys and girls who have a bit more initiative, they've already followed me on other platforms.
00:02:20.000And my primary reason for being on Twitter now is to actually promote people to go to, you know, Gab, Telegram, Odyssey, etc.
00:02:29.000So, that is my view on Twitter right now. And, of course, this isn't, the video isn't about my own feelings if I think Twitter is fun or not.
00:02:40.000Because Twitter is fun and you can gain a lot of insights on it. So, I'm not bashing the platform as it was.
00:02:47.000But it has become quite boring as of late. This is not only, again, because of my own personal feelings.
00:02:56.000It's because they have banned and censored so many individuals. So, it doesn't really feel fun anymore.
00:03:03.000And a platform, it needs to be fun for people to want to be there.
00:03:07.000So, you can compare with Gab, which is a free speech platform, which I'm more active on now.
00:03:13.000I encourage you to follow me. Link is in the description box as well.
00:03:17.000And when I say free speech, I'm not interested. I'm not out for, you know, seeing guys post edgy, radical racial slurs.
00:03:29.000It's not what I'm about. It's not what I'm interested in. I'm interested in reading good, interesting takes.
00:03:36.000A nice analysis of a recent event. Some information. But, Twitter, they ban and censor people who share, you know, interesting takes, etc.
00:03:47.000That is the issue. So, it's not about, I want to have a platform where everyone is rude.
00:03:54.000If you are on Gab, I would, please, for my sake, be polite and don't write any stupid things.
00:04:01.000Because Gab will only get into trouble for it.
00:04:04.000But you can definitely share forbidden wisdom in a polite and professional manner, so to speak.
00:04:14.000So, that's basically the difference now between Twitter and Gab.
00:04:19.000If you can't have any creative freedom, or if you can't share your thoughts, if you can't have a good, mature discussion on politics or whatever, social issues, because you will get banned.
00:04:34.000Yeah, of course, it's not particularly fun.
00:04:37.000And now, someone might say, oh, but you know, there are many more people on Twitter as opposed to Gab, etc.
00:04:45.000But, I'm not necessarily out, and I suggest that you shouldn't be out to just be where the most people are at.
00:04:55.000If we are on the path to enlightenment, and here's something you need to keep in mind, that guys and girls like us, who are interested in certain topics, we are a tiny minority.
00:05:10.000The majority of people, they are still more interested in hearing about gossip and drama.
00:05:15.000And if you look at the biggest YouTube channels, for example, yeah, it's not about necessarily something deeper.
00:05:23.000Except for PewDiePie, of course, who actually does great videos every once in a while.
00:05:43.000So, instead of viewing it, oh, there are so few people on this platform.
00:05:49.000It's not necessarily about where the most people are at.
00:05:53.000Because most people are NPCs anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
00:05:56.000And for me, as I said before, I want to reach the high-initiative people, who can actually do something productive.
00:06:05.000So, instead of me spending time talking about something, and I know it's just gonna fall on deaf ears.
00:06:13.000Yeah, it's better to maybe have a smaller audience, but you can actually do something proactive with them.
00:06:19.000And I am actually a bit nostalgic, even, for the days before social media really took off.
00:06:26.000And you had more web pages and blogs, etc.
00:06:30.000Where people could write about their thoughts, etc.
00:06:34.000So, instead of being so focused on, oh, I want to be where the most people are.
00:06:41.000Focus more on, where can I find the most interesting takes?
00:06:47.000Where can I read the most interesting stuff?
00:06:49.000Where can I reach forbidden enlightenment, so to speak?
00:06:54.000Yeah, probably not on Twitter, because if someone is popular and interesting enough, they'll probably get banned.
00:07:01.000Whereas on Gab, maybe they can speak freely.
00:07:05.000So, anyway, the decline and fall of Twitter.
00:07:08.000So, simple analysis, it's simply not fun anymore, because a lot of people have gotten banned for citing crime statistics, or whatever it might be.
00:07:22.000And, you know, when the censorship goes so far, even if I am on Twitter still, I don't really feel all too comfortable producing content for a platform which might ban me any day.
00:07:38.000So, I'm more comfortable then to be on a platform, promote a platform where I can actually be in peace and post physique.
