@practicalthought , I get what you're saying. The platform will need to evolve as time passes. I've always come in midway through new projects and beta testing. The middle is a difficult place, you're visible, have a whale or 2 as a friend, and they get pulled into a new, confidential project. So the whales leave the platform, which dissolves into nothingness, and at the end, you've gotta rush and download all your content; or if you're like me, I save myself the headache because I know I can easily reproduce that content again (and make it fit for a newer platform).

I was on Twitter a few months of its release, the same for YouTube and loads of other, now, dinosaur platforms.

Currently, I'm beta testing near 10 platforms. If you Google MissNikkiAnn, it will speak for itself. Being the first to brand my name is what keeps my $500 a year coming in. Yes, $500 a YEAR. That's it.

I know I'm rambling, but typing this is opening my eyes a bit.

And maybe someone else will find my words helpful, the same way I felt reading this post and seeing @practicalthought's comments.
