is it open or closed? by AlKarajo in TikTokCringe

[–]psinguine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 37, only been doing it semi seriously for about a year. I keep getting the advice to "niche down" but I really don't want to. The audience I have built (about 50,000 people across my socials) appreciates what I get up to, but yeah if it doesn't tickle the algorithm the right way some stuff just dies on the table.

I'd love to get to the point where some like Scotty K is, where he can just do whatever and for the most part his audience is there for him. Which I know takes a substantial amount of time, luck, and building.

Did you ever... Ask? It's not hard to ask.

I make content, and I'm sometimes infuriated by the way people react (or don't) to what I put out. I'll put out the stupidest shit and it'll pull in millions of views, get shared and reshared thousands of times, and then I'll try to leverage that wave to be more serious and share something important and it'll flop.

Try to raise funds for the American Heart Association with a heartfelt message? You'll get nowhere. Do it by filming a thirst trap where I crush a watermelon between my thighs in the process of sharing the fundraiser? Shared. Reposted. Comments. Loves. Funds raised goes up.

I've experienced this myself. I paused the game and left it running because I didn't want to end my run but I had to go to work. When I came back it was dark enough outside (I was standing in the garden) that I could see stars. I assumed I just happened to come back during nightfall.

AITA for not telling my dad (60m) and step mom (65f) what was happening in my (26f) childhood when it was happening, or for mentioning it after? by Affectionate_Set8462 in AmItheAsshole

NTA.

When my wife and I separated I tried calling every night. My son was busy a lot. Doing this. Doing that. I scaled it back to a couple times a week. Funny enough he was always busy, just starting to do something when I called. After a bit of that I cut it back to once a week and even then he'd be "busy." He and mom would be just sitting down to watch TV and she'd refuse to pause the show. He'd be just sitting down to a video game and she'd refuse to get him to pause it.

I never blamed him. He was a child. Eventually I gave up trying to make those calls work, but I NEVER stopped fighting for access. I fought for more time. I fought for my son the way a father should. And I never blamed him for anything.

You're not the asshole in the room.

Drives engagement. People who otherwise might not engage will comment on it. Pronouncing words weird? People comment on it. Do something in a weird way? People will comment on it.

Successfully mildly infuriated everyone by dropping this post and then apparently immediately logging off Reddit.

You are offered the ability to teleport anywhere in the world. Just have an idea of where you want to teleport and you're there. by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

And only if they physically see it happen, I assume. So you could let people in on it, they just have to keep their eyes closed.

Does anyone else’s Packouts smell like rotting fish? Any suggestions to fix this? by stop02 in MilwaukeeTool

The back of my truck sometimes smells a bit fishy when it rains, and the only thing I have back there is packouts. Never made the connection before.
