Social Media targeted at influencers and trending topics in the geek universe.

Social Media & It's Trends
While creating my TikTok, I had no idea, that I would become so "addicted" to it. I create my own videos, of course and try to follow the latest trends, while growing my account for more views and followers. Sometimes, I can't keep up. Sometimes, I don't feel confident enough to do specific trends. I mean, honestly, I'm a new mom, I'm overweight and I am not well coordinated. I give props to new content creators; It may seem easy, until you are like moi, and give it a shot, then say "Eh, maybe not today."

Why Instagram Drag Races are Great.
Let me start off by saying that, as a drag artist who decided that 2020 was the year to venture out of the bedroom and into full public view, things haven’t gone particularly according to plan this year.

If You Laugh, You Lose! And I Bet You, Will!
"MAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCC!", that is the sound that the Youtuber known as MacDoesIt makes as an introduction to each of his videos. I myself do not know why he chose to 'jumpscare' us as an intro but at least it's an attention grabber.

This goes to show that the ASMR genre shows no signs of slowing down. People continue to flock to hear the latest whispers on YouTube.

Saying Good-Bye to Jenna Marbles
Many years ago, back when I was still in High School, I found myself getting involved in the YouTube community that I heard a few friends talking about. Before this I hadn't really paid much attention to it, only using it to watch music videos from my favourite bands. It was during this first foray into the mad and hilarious world of cat videos and people attempting to play video games, that I came across a hilarious woman from America, Jenna Marbles.

The Best POC Youtubers Worthy of Your Subscription
YouTube is truly a world of its own. Whether your goal is to learn a new skill, participate in a discussion, or access new information, YouTube is empowering to creators and viewers alike. However, like all worlds, there are corners that go unnoticed, where communities thrive but are rarely shown in the spotlight. With racial injustice at an all time high, it is especially important right now to amplify Black voices and listen to their stories. Giving your attention (and subscription) to diverse perspectives is a simple yet highly effective way to exercise anti-racism. Black art matters, and when you support a Black Youtuber, you are supporting someone's dream, passion, and in some cases, livelihood. Here are 5 POC Youtubers who are unapologetically taking the platform by storm.

Content vs "content"
This morning I quite happily unsubscribed from a YouTube channel and it was for very personal reasons. I can't say the content creator intended to piss me off as it is very much my personal makeup and where I am in my own journey right now that made me get angry.

My Favorite YouTuber
Remember dial-up internet? I sure do. If you grew up in a town or a city, you know that it was slow, but you do not know how slow it could truly be. I grew up on an acreage and when the internet first became a part of our household, we were unable to browse Google while simultaneously chatting on MSN messenger. A song would take a full day, sometimes three, just to download. Watching a full-length video was certainly out of the question as you would get maybe five seconds into it before the internet would buffer. Therefore, YouTube was foreign for me in the beginning.

Tik-Tok videos "for you" to love as much as I do. Third Place in For You Challenge.
Crazy stunts, coordinated dance videos, and viral trends. Tik Tok is one of the most popular social media platforms right now, it's been downloaded over 2 billion times and it's only getting bigger. Although the app was originally made famous by teens it is now a favourite among all demographics. The more content you watch the more personalised video recommendations you will receive.
