" Heck no, I hate publicity. Things you own, own you as was said! " Im not one for sitting in front of a camera very comfortably. If I thought what I had to say could help others. Wouldn't that be different? | |||

"My son is a professional gamer, he started on Twitch, just playing games and chatting, now he makes good money from subscribers, sponsors and gaming companies wanting him to play their games and advertise on screen. " My nephew does the same thing. | |||

"God no, I find the constant picture taking really weird. The influencing thing I think is even weirder "As do I. It took a while for me to get used to it on here. Taking photos to stir interest. I wouldn't see what I'm saying as being 'Influencing' though. It's just a term that's been attached by marketing people. I just vent off in a few different semi anonymous ways online already and probably always will. Why not collect it all under one banner. | |||

"I've a friend who does cosplay and modeling. Posts pictures of himself over Instagram and companies are starting to give him stuff for free. His hits are growing. I suggested he move into video and now he's given it a go. I take photos of myself all the time. I'm gobby, I want free stuff. Anyone else thought about dipping their toes into this wierd world? " My daughter has been approached a few times but as she said her life is too busy and too much fun filled for that ... when I was young I modelled but it was a job and my life was exactly hat my life! Unfortunately life on the social media thing is just that your life, seems to me it's all a little shallow and doesn't leave space for what life should be all about! Go with want you want to do but think very carefully especially if you have kids and a family life as it changes everything | |||

Go with want you want to do but think very carefully especially if you have kids and a family life as it changes everything " Wise words. I have kids, but not much of a life. I'm not looking for a career. I'm not seeking fame. I'm just considering lumping my general thoughts into one place. Yes I suppose if my boys found me on camera talking honestly and openly about stuff.. Sex, my past, my time in the forces, my outlook.. Fuck it.. You know what.. They could learn a thing or two. If it took off and became something other than planned. It'd buy me more time and money to spend on my boys. If it didn't, I've got an online record of my time on this rock. Only hungover Sunday ramblings in my head for now. | |||

"I absolutely hate the effect they have over my youngest. She watches them all the time. Drives me nuts. Work hard and earn your living I believe. J " The successful ones work very hard at making it pay. To brush it off like that seems unfair. Editing, script writing, creative content, production quality. Some my sons watch are awful, others aren't so bad. Some I even watch and laugh at with them. The ones I dislike, I discuss with my sons. Explain why I'm not a fan of a person or a channel they like. Sometimes they see it too and veer away. | |||

Sorry but to me that's a very shallow existence. One I wouldn't want my daughter to perceive as normal. | |||

No agenda to promote other than my thoughts, which I post anyway. Regardless of what others think. | |||

Wouldn't that be different? " Interesting point. I guess social media is a very powerful platform in this day and age. My problem is, I think it's very one dimensional. Firing out facts, spin, emotive language and perspectives, with very little heed taken of the response sent back. If I thought I was of value to others? Maybe...but in a format of images and media which didnt include myself, just my spoken word. | |||

If you look at any thread I start..i reply to most and it's usually in that space my friendships are formed on here.. Or other forums I've used. I think I'm more comfy without a camera on me as well.. Just a case of pushing boundaries till you're comfy with it. | |||

Only ones I follow are impartial experts in their field. Or comedic ramblings. " I find most of them very frustrating. Omg this is stunning because it suits me and I love (brand)! But makeup is an area where they're incredibly useful if you find good ones. The official marketing is often so amazingly dishonest, and product quality is incredibly hit and miss even with the very high end luxury products. I'd be so amazingly pissed if I bought a £50+ product which performed worse than a £5 one, but generally you can't return makeup just because it's garbage. And they get away with it. Enter honest objective influencers (not "I love this", but "this is how it applies/ how long it lasts" etc), and the game changes. | |||

I just think the things I tend to know a fair bit about.. History, traveling, culture, society, sex, sexuality, war, politics, being on poverty line, positive mental health, relationships.. Are the things I like to vent off steam about. I always get a reaction, from family, friends and random strangers. If a clothing company sent me the odd free hoody for just being myself. I'd be chuffed to bits lololol | |||
