Private Social Media (Patreon)
Content
Hey guys let's talk about something that's been on my mind for a while now.
If people are unaware I stepped away from my social media about a year ago and it's been great. I hated it. I hated my experience because I don't like "being in the public eye" no matter how small of an influence may be, anytime I got any sort of negative attacks it would just make me depressed and cry, and I hated my fucking timeline. Everytime I would open Twitter for the past idk how many years it would be mass shooting this, President Trump that, racism, ignorance, etc. etc. I hated having to consume that on the daily so I quit.
But I do like doing one thing. And if any of you have noticed my YouTube community posts, I like to just throw out random musings about K-Pop related stuff or when I'm high I think of some weird things and like to just shout it into the ether and see what people have to say.
But most of the time the YT community posts are just filled with "react to this" "where is that" "you didn't react to wendy so you must hate her, you said you loved red velvet in your psycho reaction but i guess you were just lying for views huh" (that last one pissed me off)
I like interacting and communicating with you guys and not just the comment leavers so I've been thinking about a private social media alternative for a while. My current idea is to make a private instagram account and only give the username to patrons, and patrons can submit follow requests and if they provide us their ig handle on patreon and we confirm they're not a stranger, we'll allow access!
This method is admittedly a bit convoluted but I also can't think of any other alternatives which is why I'm making this post! If you have any ideas, let me know. Facebook and Twitter are OFF the table. Not up for debate on those, but I am open to other alternatives. The only trouble I'm having is that I don't want to make people download another app and stick to something most people already have and not make them download some obscure or not as popular social media just for me; that's too much.
And before ANYBODY even suggests ONLYFANS, I've genuinely considered this but to make OF private I have to put it behind a paywall and I don't want people to PAY to follow me, no matter how little the cost given that they already pay for content here.
