05 // Tactics, Delusions, and "For Entertainment Purposes Only!"
Being on YouTube for two years gave me a lot of insight. I began to understand not just how the machine behind this huge, often unfair ecosystem works, but more so how competitors use tactics and subterfuge to undermine what they perceive as a threat.
Many times, they do this simply because they apparently have the delusional aspiration to control who is going to be successful and who should be banned.
The goal is to artificially manipulate behaviour so the algorithm "flags" a channel as "not of interest."
Subscribing and then unsubscribing after 24 hours, or clicking on videos just long enough to be counted but not long enough to be considered a full view, is just some of the behaviour many creators have to endure.
But the worst part of this ugly jungle is being haunted by a specific group of creators who seek protection under the umbrella of:
“For entertainment purposes only!”
The divination community (tarot readers) on YouTube—or at least, the piranhas among them. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞
Here is a look at the indirect insinuations thrown at me: an adult, a total stranger to every single one of them, whose only mistake was watching their content—whilst they watched mine, surreptitiously.
That is how they had access to information about me, not because they have supernatural "gifts."
They slandered my name without saying it out loud, spitting out malicious content for their view counts using my 'content':
🍿 Yes, Popcorn, please & a Diet Coke 🥤
- I was called crazy, delusional, a nymphomaniac, broke, a thief (I steal content), and a witch performing witchcraft.
- I am also apparently a demon because I am an atheist.
- I have "imaginary lovers" because my songs had the audacity to be created with lyrics that talk about mundane things (including romance and love).
- I am "discombobulated," jealous of people I do not know.
- Supposedly, I should have "left Earth" by now because I'm evil, or
- I should be in prison, writing love letters from there...
I deleted many channels and set up new ones for them to leave me alone.
Can I prove it? I cannot!
Did I let my family know what was going on? Absolutely.
Their recommendation: stop watching. ✅: I did!
If any viewer feels targeted and voices their discomfort , they will be diagnosed through tarot cards as suffering from "delusions of reference."
*The Tarot reader's hymn:*Take only the offences that resonate, and leave the other offences for other viewers!
I left all of it: It never resonated at all. 😝
All of this is still on YouTube, encapsulated by a simple disclaimer:
“For entertainment purposes only!” 🍿🎥
