With how she is, if she had a chatter It’d be a trashfire. But it might be entertaining to watch. She’s always so quick to bark back at me like she assumes I’m always throwing a dig at her. It’s kinda sad to watch. Seems she’s doing better lately though, she’s made actual friends here and she’s been getting in drama less. …Why do I care?

Ciao, i discovered your profile today and i really love your art. I was wondering, what convinced you to ship batman/green lantern? and what are your favorite green lantern comics?

thank you, have a great day.

Ciao, hm I can't pinpoint when or what it was exactly, but it was most likely some great fanfic lol. Also I enjoy both characters a lot so that helps.

My favorite Lantern book of all time is probably Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (2016-2018). It's a 52-issue post-Rebirth run penned by Venditti and an absolute romp. I always recommend this run for those who wanna start reading modern GL; it's a great starting point and brings it all back to basics, what IMO people know and love about the Earth lanterns, the gang's back together, space cowboying around, Kyle ends his wild stint as a white lantern, etc etc. Long, but a blast to read for all of the 4 corpsmen. Plus, the art's fantastic.

Another comic near and dear to my heart is JLA/The Spectre: Soul War (2003). It's a two-issue story where Hal as The Spectre warns and helps the JLA fend off a psychic alien threat called The Trans (lol).

How much I appreciate and enjoy Spectre!Hal aside, it's a devastatingly romantic Batlantern story when read through a certain lens (and just as poignant platonically).

Anyway, don't have the time to delve into things but needless to say I spent like 2 hours in Rosh's DMs yelling about my read-through. Lmao. It's fun.

I'll just leave these panels here (spoilers):

This is from the next installment of my Shiro's Marrying Fics series, inspired by entries from the Twitter account. Provided I finish in time, it'll be posted on December 14.

It's also seven sentences because context.

Keith was only holding it together because both Pidge and Blade Virlun had insisted that this was the last group of well-wishers and it would all be over soon. Pidge might have fudged the truth to make sure he would stick it out, but Virlun would not lie to his commanding officer. 

His nose was overwhelmed with the scents of so many different flowers, some of which had stenches that turned his stomach. He had a pounding headache from the constant noise around him, chatter among the guests and ushers in a multitude of languages. The only thing keeping him in place, offering the tiniest smiles so they wouldn’t turn into grimaces and responding to every guest, was the promise of a varga alone with Shiro, his mother, and Sam. The time was officially set up as a lesson, with Sam and Krolia as the grooms’ elders dispensing their wisdom before the couple said their vows. In fact, Krolia had assured them that it would be a time of quiet meditation, giving Keith and Shiro a chance to recover before the ceremony took place.

I never post discourse but this time I am because I am annoyed :)

hey if any of you twitter people find my post about the accessible signs on here. y’alls reading comprehension in the negatives for real

let me stress once again this primarily is about Accessibility. personalization means nothing if the text can’t even be read. it literally does not matter if another cc had the idea to personalize the signs too, bro be serious that is such a common idea, I bet all of us have had it before, I have had it before. but this is about ACCESSIBILITY. the title of the post SAYS that, not “oooh look at the pretty sign ideas!” context is clearly in the post and the thread.

Bad saw that chatter’s message and immediately got to work to make the signs more accessible. he spent like two hours talking personally to this person to figure out a solution that would work for them- the customization is a fun little bonus. gosh I know it’s a lot to ask, but maybe acknowledge when people do good things? :0

because if your first thought when seeing this is to make up an imaginary competition, discredit someone’s work, and disregard the feelings of the chatter + the main focus of this change which is an inclusive accessibility feature for visually impaired viewers, you need to self-reflect.

if you have twitter, please send some love to this thread and to the user who suggested these changes @/AngelYoonki

edit: new clip thread

edit #2: thank you ricardão :]

EnReco is all about RP so there is no "main" pov or Main Character but Gonathan (GiGi) is not escaping the Main Character allegations

I saw someone on the Hololive Reddit explain how CC lead to the two competing Queens to bury the hatchet and decide to Marry while disposing of the Corrupted King, but their explanation is missing context that circles back to Gonathan inadvertently helping solve his Queen's issues, and helping Libestia. I don't have, and I don't want a reddit so I'm explaining this here.

the reddit post and news clipping (twitter image) depicting the Queens Union:

by test__plzignore:

Everyone out here sleeping on CC who may have just reconciled the queendom fight for a measly 269 gold coins. For context: Queen Mario and CC broke into the Queen Tam Gander’s guild house (by glitching their horses through the closed doors). CC, (Scarlet Wand member, knight, lawyer) in her quest for leeching money off of everyone, charged Queen Mario 200 gold for a critique of an art piece. Later, in Queen Tam Gander’s room, CC reviewed another piece of art for Queen Mario. It depicted two characters who appear to be fighting and CC said it was named From Enemies to Lovers. Reflecting on CC’s critique, Queen Mario had the realization that the painting in Queen Tam Gander’s room must depict their struggle and that Tam must really love Mario. And that the feud must be ended with their marriage. CC (Scarlet Wand member, knight, lawyer, art critic, relationship advisor) then charged 69 gold coins for her help in the matter. CC then got lost for a while and ended up playing minigames for a long time.

But something that was missed in this is what CC, Raora, and their Chat thought was the "Queen's" Bedroom, was actually Gonathan's bedroom, gifted to them by the Queen who decided to gift the whole top floor of the Cerulean Cup's quarters to Gonathan for being such a staunch Knight to her and encompassing so much EMPATHY representing their guild. So, Gonathan's room painting lead to his Queen, and her Rival to find company in each other after their Rival arc. 😌 On another level of meta irony humor, Kronii aka Queen TAM, aka The Azure Maiden, had a budding romantic interest with Irys (the Hot Pink One) but was heart broken when Irys proposed to Ina. While chatting with "the voices in her head" aka chat, some chatters jokingly said something along the lines of: "There's still the Hot, Pink one.", meaning Raora. Since Kronii was set to leave for a vacation, no one really paid much interested in the idea, but lo-and-behold the throw away joke became true.

The moment where Kronii confesses and you can start to see Chatters mention Raora for a romantic interest for TAM. (around 2h 17m 30s)

Hi. I just wanted to ask if it's possible for you guys to post the English translation of the Spanish posts? Tumblr doesn't have the translation option like X or Facebook

Hi! I'm guessing you're speaking about this post. Sure, no problem. I think it's relevant for everyone to know how long he has been in these kind of situations. I'll try to do my best w/ translation and offer some context.

Luz said in her post:

"I don't have a Twitter, I consider it an intolerant and racist world, this is the social network where Tenoch has the most bots against him, he receives a lot of hate and they generate that hate. But yesterday in a group they sent this picture, it's a publication about a radio host saying Tenoch apologized to him for being a person "without education and without ethics" according to his words.

(In the tweet: I share with you the picture when #TenochHuerta apologized to me for behaving as an uneducated being, without ethics and as the chairo without words he has always been. If I had known, I would've charged $1,800...

Note: Chairo doesn't have a translation, but it's basically derogatory way to to describe an individual who holds a far-left ideology, specifically any person who thoughtlessly defends, idolizes, and fawns over a populist politician and demagogue with an attitude similar to that of a religious fanatic.)

I thought it was weird and I found a publication made by the director Alonso Ruizapalacios in 2015 where he explains what happened that day

(full text here: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02fkKp1ZGWvpcweaavk8e13ke4HQj2k616EPv75JrrExeEB49DUGPL7m31WJzGDqqil&id=1369494912&mibextid=Nif5oz)

"COMMERCIAL BREAK!

A few hours ago, me and Tenoch Huerta went to promote our movie GÜEROS at the radio show "Charros vs Gángsters", hosted by Jairo Calixto and some José Luis Guzmán "Miyagi" (I confess I didn't know about him until today).

Since we arrived at MVS Radio in Polanco, we saw patrols and riot policeman surrounding the radio station and preventing the production van from passing through. The driver suggested it was "because of that reporter that they are going to fire."

Despite this rarefied atmosphere, the inteview about the movie went like most interviews in radio and TV he (Tenoch) helped with in Mexico: wih cordiality, but with simple and unexciting (no preparation), but overall with the hysteria that characterizes a large amout of the communicators in our country - a kind of perpetual nervousness about not leaving even a moment of pause, to "fill the air" with whatever, with an incessant strident chatter that passes for irreverence and freshness. Despite that, we promoted our move without problem, between jokes about the Partido Verde and bestiality.

At the end of our interview, Tenoch took the floor and said: "Before we leave, I'd like to comment something in a personal capacity, I think it's necessary to have dialog to clarify the situation about the communicator Cármen Aristegui and her firing from this radio station." In that moment "Miyagi", who had not heard a single word about Güeros nor had he looked up from his iPad during our entire conversation, ordered: "Let's go on commercial break!" and it was obeyed immediately in the cabin. After a awkward painful silence, Tenoch and I realized we had finished. After a painfully awkward silence, Tenoch and I realized that we were done. We approached to say goodbye to our hosts, who barely shook our hands, without looking us in the eyes. But before leaving Miyagi told us: “We opened the microphones for something else, not so that you could continue with that…” To which Tenoch responded “We just want to know what is happening with Aristegui.” And nothing else was said.

We went out of the MVS with our heads spinning aournd, trying to understand what had just happened. And we still continue to not understand...

My interpretation: We're still trapped in this climate where communicators -even those who brag about being irreverent- fear (maybe justifiably) about their continuity in the enterprises that pay their salary. We're still living in a climate of very litte solidarity and a lot of intolerance.

Maybe "Miyagi" simply made a mistake and acted on impulse, a byproudct of the frustration from reading trolls against him since he didn't defend Cármen Aristegui. Or maybe the sushi upsetted his stomach... But what he did was censorship, it's indisputable. Turning your back on such a valid and relevant question and go on commercial break when things get awkward, in true Televisa style, was something surprising to witness live.

I don't have information to venture an absolute theory about all of this, nor to affirm that it is censorship that comes from above, or if it's rather self-censorship, a product of fear. But that there's something rotten in Denmark, I have no doubt.

While I appreciate the space that was opened to talk about our film, I deeply regret the continuation of this state of fear we live in.

I'm sorry that our communicators don't look at us in the eyes. I'm sorry there's no room for pauses. And I'm sorry there's no time to listen.

Context on who is this journalist and why this happened:

On 12 March 2015, two journalists from MVS, Daniel Lizárraga and Irving Huerta, were fired after they used the station's brand name without permission in a newly created website known as MexicoLeaks, which leaked reports on government corruption. Aristegui issued an ultimatum and threaten to quit if MVS did not reinstate her two staff members. Four days later, MVS fired Aristegui after considering that she had crossed the line for issuing an ultimatum to the MVS management.

My friend Tenoch says: My name is José Tenoch Huerta Mejía, mexican.

I love who I am, where I live and with who I live.

I don't like what's going on in my country, it's not the country I grew up in, nor the one I want to live in.

I don't understand a lot of things and as many more I'm scared about what we're living.

It hurts my soul to know that thousands are no longer hugging their families when their time had not yet come.

I wonder what's up, what can I do so everyone can be alright, the truth is I don't know but I decided to talk and ask.

I have nothing against any politician or people in power, I just want a different country.

I don't want one where we're all poor to be equals, but one where we're rich at heart, pockets and tummy to decide what to do with our time in this land.

Yersterday I asked something I needed to know, the mic was open and I asked.

Today, someone went to my house, intimidated me while hiding their face behind a brown scarf and a newspaper. They took photos of me, laughed mockingly at me and then disappeared into the hallways of the place where I live and have called home the last four years of my life.

What did I do wrong? Ask, say that I don't like any of this, thinking that we could have a better life, think?

A lot of people supports and helps me, but what about those that don't have the fortune to be visible?

I write this and I cry because I don't want to live like this, we don't deserve to live like this.

Mexico hurts my guts.

My little corner on land that gives me food and air to breath, that gives me a house and family.

I love my country, I love my people and even you, who doesn't understand we can live in a better way.

Thank you for your support, for being there and might our voices and hearts always sing.

We deserve something better.

Then, Luz adds:

What really happened was that exactly 8 years ago, in that booth, there was no freedom of speech, Tenoch tried to speak about a topic and was quickly cut off. Another account later shared that Tenoch had reported that he was being followed and photographed.

What I'm trying to say is that they have always hated him for telling them to their faces what he thinks about some topic and that makes them angry, they "can't stand it." Now that he is doing a little better, they are trying by all means to ruin his career. Tenoch himself has mentioned it in many interviews, and they have paid the media to destroy him.

I think we have to be careful, those media and haters are always aware of all the publications about him and if it is something controversial they can manipulate, they will do it, have no doubt about that, even if it is from years ago.

Do not react, do not comment or retweet, only report the publication if it has racist content. Never try to talk to them, it's not worth it. (Personal note: Please listen to this!! Especially twitter folks, since it might be counterproductive. By fighting them, you're offering them more interactions because that's how the algorithm works).

Hope this helped!

okay. i have debated making a post like this on and off for about the past decade. and i was always like "well, it didn't directly involve me, and i have 0 evidence, my memory of the details is a little shaky, and i don't think it needs to be a huge deal." but it has been weighing on me more and more recently, and i feel like i should at least tell my mutuals this story because i think about it a lot. and i think it's perhaps a conversation that should be had.

but i wanna preface this first with: this is not an accusation or an assertion that anyone necessarily did anything. not only is this information alleged, it's also something i heard secondhand and not directly from the person (and about 10 years ago) so it would be really hard for me to verify its veracity. wanna make that extremely clear before i imply that someone might have committed a crime. it's a very big MIGHT.

but here's the story: i was on twitter a lot as a teenager and jack and dean used to be pretty friendly with their fans. it was fun, they'd reply to people's tweets, they even commissioned a friend of mine for graphic design work which i thought was really cool. jack, to my knowledge, never dmed any fans in a purely social context. like, he dmed my friend to comission work from her, but they weren't like, chatting bc he didn't do that. dean, however, was a chatter. i never personally talked to dean, but i had a friend who had a friend (that's 2 degrees of separation between me and this story for those keeping count) that used to talk to him i think regularly. one day my friend came into the group chat saying her friend had been messaging dean (we are all about 15/16 here and he would've been like mid-20s) and he was asking her what kind of porn she was into. at the time, i think we as teenage girls were so used to predatory men that all we really did was make fun of him behind his back for a few minutes (iirc he had just gone through a breakup so we were all like "wow, very pathetic that this is what you do when you're depressed"), but i don't think it even occurred to any of us to tell anyone about it. it's like one of those things that happens to you as a kid and ur like fine but you look back on it as an adult and you're like "holy shit how did that adult man think that was okay?"

i thought about it a lot when the cody ko allegations blew up bc imo it's a fairly similar situation, like the victim wasn't even really bothered by it, but it's still obviously wrong. but it just makes me think like, for every cody ko who gets publicly called out, there are probably 10 dean dobbs who just get away with it because the victim never had any intention of speaking up. youtubers just aren't who they say they are. a lot happens when that camera isn't rolling.

Ughhh… I’m not gonna lie, they do sound ridiculous to outsiders. Maybe even to insiders. But so do Larries. Each fandom has to handle and balance out their own influx of idiocy.

What I absolutely despise is when people - who obviously aren’t part of said fandom - pick one comment out of context and use their platform to make fun of this person for their fandom chatter - all in the name of being the smarter person and expose it to a hateful community. Like seriously, fuck off. You’re just a bully!

[castlebyersafterdark]

hi, first off i want to give everyone a high five for being so game to discuss LPSG, this is what this cosy sleepover blog is all about! curiosity and no judgement. love.

secondly, vinny, if you want to, could you tell us more about your twitter era in the context of these gay forums? did you find being on there a release of frustrations, or did you get sucked into being mean online because it's easy to do that without really checking yourself first? you curate such a different vibe on here, i wonder what was the catalyst that made you want to switch up who you are online.

Yes!! I'm really glad we're at this point - I've received no hate for upping the spice and actually haven't lost any followers as we've all gotten more outta pocket around here. Actually the number went up a bit 😊 I had worries people might jump ship if I made it too weird but that hasn't happened yet. Not a ton of negativity lately at all which is really, really nice. Thanks, yall, for being so fun and open minded and down to get weird with it with me in this silly little corner!! It really was naughty sleepover chatter vibes the other night. Loved it.

And ohhhh the secretive, sensitive lore. I don't think I'm going to dive too deeply into specifics. Everything's a journey. First, the funner insight. I guess over all in regards to topics similar to the forums and that sort of content, twitter was much of the same, format different though. Just, the open stream of posting every thought and acting pretty shameless online was the vibe in some spaces. But about celebrities and random people online and yourself. Audacity in every direction. I was... definitely a bit hmmm. A lot. Outta pocket on twitter. I'll leave it there. Young and bizarre.

But on the simultaneous flip side, there were times where I did unfortunately get sucked into the mean shit, behavior and situations I regret. Time wasted in negativity. Life was difficult, the world was difficult. Very easy to get swept up in instant gratification or emotional release, good or bad. Especially on social media. I think it's harder these days to be kind online. The environment does not encourage it. Unfortunately, it's work. But - it doesn't have to be that way. We can all benefit being kinder.

But I changed a lot in my life. All for the better. It's hard of course, but worth everything once you recognize when change is needed, when help is needed. Got it. Did it. Disconnect a bit. Reevaluate your interests and how you spend time. Been in a great place for a long time now. Quoting a guy we're all here for again: "I'm the happiest I've ever been." Truth. All in the past.

BALITANG ENTERTAINMENT: The 4th New Episode of the Aussie Independent Cartoon Show 'The Amazing Digital Circus' potentially drops December 2024? [#FirstOnOneNETnews] (updated as final!!!)

Originally published on October 7th, 2024 due to technicial difficulties.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- 'The Amazing Digital Circus', an indie web animated series by 'Gooseworx' is rumored to be dropping its 4th new episode during the Holiday Season, likely in the mid-December 2024. Not since the Halloween offering hit the screens worldwide in October of this year, which includes the Tagalog-dubbed, has such been the case. As previously recalled, when it premiered, the audience fell in love with an entire cast of humans trapped inside of some sort of bizarre virtual reality (VR) circus theme.

An American X Network user (formerly Twitter and owned by X Corporation) named 'Rainboo2030' tweeted his screenshot… It is clear that the Episode 4 for this upcoming holiday season is yet in the works. OneNETnews cannot independently verify the authenticity of the so-called screenshot evidence.

There has been much hype among fans, who are hoping it might show up in the virtual convention "GlitchX" within a Nintendo Direct-style video highlights.

For context, GlitchX (short for Glitch Expo) is an event organized by the Aussie-owned independent animation company 'Glitch Productions' and takes place on the GLITCH YouTube channel. 'GlitchX' aims at putting together a variety of different indie animation creators and their respective shows, giving them an opportunity to be in the limelight for a larger crowd. The event started first in early mid-November 2023, but is now a platform that offers a chance for different indie creators to share projects, gain support and form a community.

The event typically features AMAs (Ask Me Anything) sessions, roundtable discussions with prominent indie creators and special announcements. This year in 2024, 'GlitchX' will be a 20-30 minute video highlighting multiple indie projects, with fun entertainment pieces and special guests in between, which expected virtually to be held on November 1st.

As the Holiday Season draws near, fans of TADC can hardly contain their excitement for the upcoming 4th episode. There's a lot of chatter about whether it will be part of GlitchX, but everyone is eagerly waiting. But, there are no new details at the moment for the release date of Episode #4 next month. They only show some fictional characters before moving on to the next feature instead. But in anyway, the new episodes will be accessible for free on YouTube, and also through a paid simulcast on Netflix, set to release coming by Saturday morning in Australia.

Sunday April 7

hehe hi,

I recently rewatched Mtvs Awkward and remembered how much I loved having a little blog when I was 13. I got lonely tonight and had so many thoughts and I was distraught when I have no one to throw my thoughts at. So here I am typing to the void of the internet. This little blog is just gonna be a collection of thoughts classic diary style! I just wanna be able to post little entries of the different thoughts. I know it must be somewhat of a common experience for us ex Tumblr girlies that miss that random connection with people you don't know that have the same interest as you. I also just have so many fun sexy stories to tell and no one to tell them too.

lets dive in

starting with music

I am listening to The Last Dinner Party and I just am feeling the energy I felt when I watched YellowJackets. Is this a shared experience??? dying to know.I just listened to the Prelude to Ecstasy I really enjoyed it and will have more thoughts once I give it a second listen through. I yearn to have friends who watch and listen to the exact things I listen to. I want to be able to discuss these things! -- Chappell Roan is my everything and I just can not stop listening to her. I adore what she has to offer to the world of pop.-- I just now realized how much Luke Bryan I listened to in my first country phase. Like DAmn this man had a lot of bangers on the Crash My Party Album.

Lets talk tv bitches

the invincible season final had me gagged. I couldn't speak and that is rare for me. I am a chatter box but I did not have words! wow! from what I have been reading on twitter I should read the comic for all the extra context and action. I am very excited for the next season and hope it comes at least in the next year.

The Real shit

Fuck y'all. I finally got out of the two month long hookup drought. y'all I am baffled by the audacity of men. I am aware its not too surprising but god damnit!!!!!!!! This was supposed to be my redemption arc but I am very discouraged. Over the weekend I had two suitors (both from the dating apps) boy #1 had the stamina of a fucking horse on steroids. that being said there was no foreplay! but I was touch starved that I didn't give a fuck! lmao. so we go FOUR rounds. He gets off every time and I got off slightly once.The whole experience was just not uncomfortable in a non consent way but in a way it was just not my cup of tea. I am down to try everything once and this showed me I don't love or hate my toes being sucked on. wtf! I am a socks during sex type of girly and it kinda through me off guard but it wasn't the craziest part of this experience. This man fully used his jizz as a massage oil on my back and I was so taken a back! he asked me "has anyone ever done that before" my befuddled self just said No?!?! lmao! its so silly I wasn't that grossed out by it I was planning on taking a shower after he left but like what? I'm not gonna yuck someones yum but I didn't know that was a thing???? Okay boy #2 we have been talking on the snapchat for a while and went for drinks awhile back. The talks over snap have gotten spicy a couple times and we were both pretty excited to get together in person. I was excited because this man talked up his game in a very believable and respectable way. It was SO awkward and I know I am a silly person but usually I can keep a conversation going. That was not the case. So at a very random point in conversation he kisses me and It was just not good and that's a terrible start! like whaaaaaat where are your lips! You are just giving me your tongue and do not get me wrong I love a good French kiss but let me feel your lips first! so things start and I end up getting this man off two times in 15 minutes at the most. the entire experience from kissing to his double completion was 25 minutes. Which would be fine if he would of taken the time to get me off like he said he would in these past two weeks of snapchat. He is now distant and I have a feeling its because he knows he didn't provide anything exciting for me. Dating is so damn hard. The thing is I don't even want a boyfriend. I could be a perfect FWB for some very lucky attractive sex god but I can't find him!! I stupidly thought moving to the big apple would provide a better pond but damn its just not going well. That being said I'm gonna keep on trying for the plot because although its bad sex its funny stories. one day I will find a sexy person to have fun casual sex with on a regular basis. that's not too much too ask for! this is getting messy lmao its late I'm wine tipsy. haha goodnight whores xox

Resilient Branding in the Age of Algorithm Adjustments

First things first, what's an algorithm in the context of social media? It's the system that decides what content appears in a user's feed. Long gone are the days when posts would appear chronologically. Nowadays, algorithms use a mix of user behavior, relevance, and other variables to determine what content should be presented to whom. The upshot? Brands need to be hyper-aware of these algorithmic criteria to maintain or expand their social reach.

Staying up-to-date with how algorithms work can feel like trying to hit a moving target. Social media giants like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter constantly tweak their algorithms, which can dramatically alter a brand's visibility. The stakes are high: slip-ups in aligning with algorithm changes can result in decreased engagement, fewer followers, and ultimately, a poor return on investment for all your social media efforts.

Adapting Content Strategy

Many brands fall into the pitfall of creating content in a vacuum, not realizing that content adaptability is the name of the game. An ideal content strategy accommodates frequent algorithm changes by being flexible, yet consistent in quality and relevance.

A brand needs to be proactive in modifying its content strategy. Adaptability here refers to changing the type, timing, and even the intended audience of your posts based on the most recent algorithmic criteria. So, if video content is being favored—make more video content. If the algorithm rewards engagement within the first hour of posting, time your most interactive content to go live during high-traffic periods.

The Significance of Engagement Metrics

The emphasis on engagement metrics such as likes, comments, and shares is not arbitrary. These metrics often form the crux of algorithm criteria. The principle behind it is straightforward: if users are interacting with your content, it must be valuable. Therefore, the algorithm pushes it up in people's feeds, creating a virtuous circle of visibility and interaction for your brand.

How to increase engagement then becomes the challenge. One often overlooked aspect is the power of social listening. By understanding what people are saying about your brand or your sector, you can develop posts that are hyper-relevant and immediately engaging to your audience. While this won't guarantee immunity from the next algorithm change, it does put you in a position to adapt swiftly.

The Myths of Frequency and Timing

There's a lot of chatter about how often to post and when. While consistency is key, an over-emphasis on frequency and timing can lead to content fatigue. Algorithms are increasingly sophisticated in identifying and penalizing what they perceive as spammy behavior. So, the trick is to find a balance, maintaining a consistent posting schedule without annoying your audience—or the algorithm.

Community Building as an Algorithm Shield

No matter how frequently algorithms change, one constant remains: community. Building a strong, interactive community around your brand is like having an insurance policy against algorithmic shifts. This community acts as a safety net, ensuring that even if your posts don't get the visibility you were hoping for, there's a dedicated group of people who will seek out your content and interact with it. Therefore, invest in community management as part of your broader social media strategy.

The Iterative Learning Process

Given the continually changing nature of social media algorithms, consider your strategy an iterative process. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. Being nimble and willing to pivot is not just a nice-to-have attribute; it's a necessity in the fast-paced world of social media algorithms. Brands that succeed are those that treat every algorithmic change as a learning opportunity. They analyze, adapt, and march on—ensuring their social media presence not only survives but thrives, no matter what algorithmic curveballs are thrown their way.

Remaining updated on algorithm changes necessitates a multi-faceted approach. Industry blogs, webinars, and expert talks can provide invaluable insights. However, social media platforms themselves often give clues or even direct information about upcoming changes. Follow their corporate blogs, subscribe to their newsletters, and keep an eye on their updates. You're not just a user of these platforms; you're a stakeholder with much to gain—or lose.

Summing Up

Algorithm changes can feel like insurmountable challenges, especially when they seem to come out of nowhere. However, with a proactive approach that includes flexibility, an emphasis on engagement metrics, community building, and an iterative learning process, your brand can not just survive but can excel in the ever-changing social media arena.

Too many bad opinions not enough listening and asking for context

[forestwater87]

Okay, for all of you who don't feel like watching Miles RP as David

Here are some of my favorite quotes. Context may be added if I feel like it. Reactions are my goblin brain screaming. All of these came from a discord so if they don't make sense . . . see goblin brain comment.

(That link should start directly at the point where he becomes David; if it doesn't, skip to 1:40:33)

In roughly chronological order:

David: "Teachers are sort of like camp counselors during the rest of the year."

The thing is David is absolutely up his own ass enough to think this.

David: "Trail mix is expensive!"

^ said to show he understands why not everyone can donate to the charity for teachers. Very adorable, am crying.

David's "ooooh" seeing one dude was extremely non-heterosexual. Fucking bicon. Him losing his mind that one of the arenas is called "Survey camp"

David: "A person's hitting me -- I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry this is just pretend!"

This is just canonically how David plays video games. Either this or he's unwilling to commit violence at all, but I'll defer to Miles.

David: "That's very goat of you!"

Spencer: "Is David popular amongst his campers?"

David: "I like to think so! There's only 3 staff members, so I'm definitely in everyone's top 3."

"That also means you're in the bottom 3."

David: "Well, I choose not to think of it that way."

(I have to keep adding reacts so you can tell when one quote ends and another begins. Judge not lest ye be judged)

I think the other person in the stream is named Spencer. Friend of Miles. I know literally nothing else about him and am not even confident on those facts.

Every time he says something so non-David in his David voice I die: "I have a lot of grenades!"

David: "Oh my goodness, would you look at this beautiful scenery! Can we hike that mountain?"

This is so goddamn cute. I am dying. Miles looked at his fans and said "they will eat tonight" and I am so relieved.

David: "Not to be a couple of Greedy Garys, but I say we get this [care package] and then I'll drop another one!"

The fact that Miles is grinning like a lunatic the entire time is very good. (Also if this is formatted badly then I'm sorry but not all that sorry. I'm doing my best and David would be proud of me.)

David: "Didja getim? Didja getim? didja getim? How 'bout now?"

Spencer: "I didn't get 'em."

David: "Well, you tried your best and that's all that matters."

He calls healing "a little health kiss." I'm not sure why but it's very important to me.

David: [while jumping to murder someone] "Hi! Scuse me!"

(i just need something to separate the quotes okay)

David: "Well you know what gang, we did our best. You don't always win the 3-legged race. You did a wonderful job!"

Then there's a bit where they talk about Spencer's time at summer camp:

David: "ooooh hand-holding's pretty serious!"

David is too pure.

David: [dreamily] "Did you fall in love, Spencer? A summer love?" [puts hands up to his face]

Then there's the fact that David/Miles gets to pick where they play each round, and he keeps insisting on going to the one called "Survey Camp" every single time because it has the word "camp" in it.

David: "Now, I don't like to disagree, but . . . I was thinking we could go . . . to Survey Camp!"

Spencer reminds him that technically since David's the one with the power to choose, his opinion is the only one that matters:

David: "Everyone's opinion matters. And my opinion is we're going to camp."

David just steamrolling over Spencer's interests is very good. There are these little selfish nuggets sprinkled in among the wholesomeness that really capture the full David experience.

David: "Well, he's climbing up . . . he's coming my direction . . . oh, he looks scary . . ."

Spencer: "Is he coming towards me?"

David: "Oooh, I don't know. I'm dead!"

The positivity is relentless. I think Miles said on twitter afterwards that this whole thing was exhausting and I can see why. Being David is no picnic . . .

David: "I have a question: do we have to shoot each other in this game?"

And then a few seconds later:

David: "I'm just wondering if maybe there's a way we can, you know, help others. Talk through our issues."

And a few seconds after that:

David: "I was asking if they wanted to be friends in the game!"

I believe that moved killed him, too. Precious.

Also we're interrupting the real Miles!David content to share something my friend suggested to me while I was watching this and giving her quotes; she said that maybe David just calls everything camp to make life more fun, and then sent me this imaginary exchange that actually killed me all the way to death:

David: Gwen Santos would you go to marriage camp with me

Gwen: I'm going to have to change this story when I tell everyone

It made me laugh quite a bit.

Anyway, back to the video!

Spencer: "How do you sign up for [Camp Campbell]?"

David: "Well, um, you can fax, uh, an application to CameronCCampbell@hotmail.realwebsite.noreallyrealwebsite.com. And . . . you can know that myself and Gwen and Quartermaster and sometimes Mr. Campbell will do our best to make sure they get what they need! Which more than anything is love and support. And friendship."

Spencer: "How many dollars does this camp cost?"

David: "You know . . . it is, um . . ."

And then the conversation switches subjects and David breathes a sigh of relief.

Very shortly after this he changed his character from a woman (she was wearing a yellow shirt, which he liked because the campers wear yellow shirts) to "a Forward Scout with a positive attitude!"

"I like his style."

Spencer: "Does everybody abuse David verbally?"

David: "You know, sometimes people have harsh words. Mostly Max, and Neil, and Gwen, and Quartermaster, and Nurf."

Spencer: "Did you just list almost everyone?"

David: "Mmm . . . I'd say maybe a third."

Poor David. Somebody please protect him.

Spencer: "Yeah, I think people abuse David. I get that vibe. Or at least, I feel it in my heart. Like I wanna put ants in your bunk or something."

David: "Well, I think that says more about maybe some of the hurt you're carrying with you. And sometimes when people don't know how to process that, they act out. Do you want some trail mix?"

David just said his favorite part of trail mix is the raisins which is so cute. "They have a little bit of salt on them, which isn't typical for a raisin."

And he keeps telling chatters to watch their language.

David: "Who is my favorite camper? Aww, you know I couldn't pick a favorite! . . . But I know who has the most potential, even if he doesn't want to admit it."

I KNEW IT!!!!!

I've been saying for years that David doesn't have a favorite and gravitates towards the ones he thinks need him the most AND I FINALLY GOT ONE RIGHT!

David: "Well you know, Gwen swears and that's okay."

shipping intensifies

David: [gasp] "The moss is growing on the north side of the rock!"

Every time he nerds out about weird shit in the game I gain 3 seconds to my life.

Spencer: "Did you get teabagged?"

David: "What's that?"

Spencer: "It's where somebody places their most intimate bits on you for . . . friendship."

David: [softly] "Oh, I don't know about that."

Also David confirms that the whole show has been a single summer, so please see the "vindication" gif above.

David: "I know a lot of fun camp songs."

Spencer: "Sing 3."

David: [starts singing] "Bum-bum-bumblebee, bumblebee tuna, I love bumblebee, bumblebee tuna . . ."

Spencer: "Okay, please stop. I immediately regret this decision."

David: "Max said the same thing! One of my campers. And, uh, and my co-counselor, Gwen."

He's literally made of sunshine. I would die for this fictional man.

Spencer: "Are people at camp against their will? I feel like they are."

David: "No! . . . They don't always like it immediately, but it grows on them."

Spencer: "It sounds like they're there against their will."

David: "Well I just think that's a negative way of looking at it."

FWIW Spencer makes an excellent foil to David. Not as aggressive as Max or as dour as Gwen, but he brings a very . . . like, straight-man energy to the conversation. Like how a normal person would react to David IRL. I'd enjoy seeing these two interact more.

Spencer: "It's like your overpositivity is wanting me to balance it out with negativity."

David: "You know, I feel like that dynamic's pretty popular with me."

eeeeeeee <3

And the last one that I personally found noteworthy:

David: "One day we'll be able to afford safety equipment. Until then, we'll just have to deal with Quartermaster's Ropes Course. And a lot of pillows."

There's point near the last 20 minutes where either it got kinda boring or I just got too tired to keep track. But if there are any quotes you think I missed, please share them! This was a really lovely bit of content to feed our starving maw, and I appreciate Miles very very very much for taking one for the team.
