Hello and welcome to a new episode of digression.
|
|
|
0:00:19 – 0:00:25
Where I occasionally, no, always deviate from the topic.
|
|
|
0:00:25 – 0:00:37
I'm Sascha Markmann and I say hello. Today's theme is inspired by a video of
|
|
|
0:00:37 – 0:00:45
Sascha Pallenberg. I think that's the name of the good man, huh? Pallenberg. This is a blogger, podcaster,
|
|
|
0:00:45 – 0:00:59
Newsletter writer, someone who gives lectures at congresses, has been self-employed for a long time,
|
|
|
0:00:59 – 0:01:14
then he was responsible for the social media impact at Daimler and now he is
|
|
|
0:01:14 – 0:01:25
self-employed podcaster, lives in Taiwan, somehow comes from Dortmund,
|
|
|
0:01:25 – 0:01:35
Waldrop here and I've been following it for a very long time, because it's about such tech news
|
|
|
0:01:35 – 0:01:45
Now don't necessarily report this whole mainstream stuff, but go deeper in places
|
|
|
0:01:45 – 0:01:51
in. Just so you know who it is. He had made a video of why he was now
|
|
|
0:01:51 – 0:02:01
adopted by the network threads. And as I listened to the podcast,
|
|
|
0:02:01 – 0:02:07
There was also a second podcast, no, that was a video where he talked about saying goodbye.
|
|
|
0:02:07 – 0:02:08
Talk about threats.
|
|
|
0:02:08 – 0:02:14
And then there was a podcast, where he talked a little bit more about it.
|
|
|
0:02:14 – 0:02:20
Reasons and why he now prefers Blue Sky and Mastodon.
|
|
|
0:02:20 – 0:02:29
And that made me think about my own social media use.
|
|
|
0:02:29 – 0:02:37
So I'm basically on all major channels. and Facebook,
|
|
|
0:02:37 – 0:02:43
I mean good for the younger ones, there are only old ones anyway, this is no longer important,
|
|
|
0:02:43 – 0:02:53
but I have a lot of people there who read my blog posts and also occasionally
|
|
|
0:02:53 – 0:03:01
The podcast stuff. So I find new people and I can just draw attention. To my
|
|
|
0:03:01 – 0:03:09
Shame I'm still on ex-Twitter and I don't really feel comfortable there,
|
|
|
0:03:09 – 0:03:16
but unfortunately there are also a lot of people that I follow, who do not make any decency somehow,
|
|
|
0:03:16 – 0:03:25
to go there because the thing is just toxic and since the takeover of Elon Musk and
|
|
|
0:03:25 – 0:03:35
Freedom of speech, my God, has become a disgusting network. But unfortunately, some people are
|
|
|
0:03:35 – 0:03:46
very active, which I follow and provide me with information, which indeed certain areas
|
|
|
0:03:46 – 0:03:53
with me, as far as technology is concerned or as far as publication on their part is concerned, or
|
|
|
0:03:53 – 0:04:01
So much for the YouTube beef, the Twitch beef, that you get a little bit of it.
|
|
|
0:04:01 – 0:04:08
But I don't really feel that comfortable there. So I open the browser or the app,
|
|
|
0:04:08 – 0:04:13
Just take a quick look at the things and then I close them and then I don't open them anymore.
|
|
|
0:04:13 – 0:04:20
The next day I check everything that happened that day and then I close again.
|
|
|
0:04:20 – 0:04:32
It's terrible. Yes, Instagram was for me a photo platform that was founded at the time,
|
|
|
0:04:32 – 0:04:37
I used it too. For a long time very pansy, I have only then, I think,
|
|
|
0:04:37 – 0:04:45
So 2018 started to play that a little bit more. But now, that's the way it is
|
|
|
0:04:45 – 0:04:52
so algorithm controlled and that is also such a point that the Sascha Paltenberg addressed there
|
|
|
0:04:52 – 0:04:59
has. You no longer get what you want to see, you get what the algorithm does.
|
|
|
0:04:59 – 0:05:06
You think you see it, you want to see it. And I often have so much nonsense about people,
|
|
|
0:05:06 – 0:05:16
I haven't subscribed at all, where I always think, why? Why? For some time now, this
|
|
|
0:05:16 – 0:05:22
Network threads here in Germany. It was cool in the beginning, is now really on the way,
|
|
|
0:05:22 – 0:05:29
It's weird because I get so much pornography. That's also something,
|
|
|
0:05:29 – 0:05:39
What bothers me so much about X or formerly Twitter, all these sexbots, so terrible. So much
|
|
|
0:05:39 – 0:05:46
You can't operate as a self-defilement, as there is the offer of support in
|
|
|
0:05:46 – 0:05:57
Goose feet are coming. Without words, without words, that's so annoying. And then also these hollow phrases,
|
|
|
0:05:57 – 0:06:05
So there are people who have figured out when you do provocative postings on threads,
|
|
|
0:06:05 – 0:06:14
You have an incredibly strong reaction, i.e. to marketing, German, engagement.
|
|
|
0:06:14 – 0:06:21
People click, they comment, they make a heartbeat.
|
|
|
0:06:21 – 0:06:27
This has somehow become such a total plague.
|
|
|
0:06:27 – 0:06:31
In the beginning it was cool. It was a beautiful place, but now it is too.
|
|
|
0:06:31 – 0:06:36
Of course, there are some people who also post cool stuff,
|
|
|
0:06:36 – 0:06:40
But that's kind of a cross-post from Instagram.
|
|
|
0:06:40 – 0:06:42
So if you post a photo on Instagram, you can set it,
|
|
|
0:06:42 – 0:06:47
It should automatically go to Facebook and threads.
|
|
|
0:06:47 – 0:06:50
The same goes for Facebook and threads.
|
|
|
0:06:50 – 0:06:55
So you just have to play one network to be played on all of them.
|
|
|
0:06:55 – 0:07:03
One is then stories, the other is then, so stories on Instagram can also be stories on Instagram.
|
|
|
0:07:03 – 0:07:09
Facebook and vice versa and pictures and posts can be exchanged at Threadsoft,
|
|
|
0:07:09 – 0:07:19
But then also on Facebook and Instagram back and forth and well, it's a concert,
|
|
|
0:07:19 – 0:07:25
Everything belongs to the meter. and mastrodon. Mastrodon is such a beautiful thing.
|
|
|
0:07:25 – 0:07:33
I think it's awesome. I'm on the server of Chaos Computer Club. I'm really glad,
|
|
|
0:07:33 – 0:07:40
That I came in there at the time. And that's it, yeah, all nerds. They are interested
|
|
|
0:07:40 – 0:07:44
for politicians who are interested in technology, who are interested in social issues.
|
|
|
0:07:44 – 0:07:49
This is a place where I feel really good. Of course there is also a
|
|
|
0:07:49 – 0:07:57
Improbably great care. So incriminating content is marked with a
|
|
|
0:07:57 – 0:08:06
Trigger warning. Photos that could trigger, i.e. any feelings in a
|
|
|
0:08:06 – 0:08:12
trigger, which are unpleasant, are just automatically blurred, so that one stops
|
|
|
0:08:12 – 0:08:18
You have to make a conscious decision that you can look at the things. Really a beautiful place,
|
|
|
0:08:18 – 0:08:24
There are a few barriers to entry. You have to think about which instance you sign up for and then,
|
|
|
0:08:24 – 0:08:31
That's until you find your people again, if they're there at all. There are tools for,
|
|
|
0:08:31 – 0:08:37
But all this is still very spongy. So I'm not surprised that it's not so
|
|
|
0:08:37 – 0:08:42
is successful. By the way, if it is a German product, it comes from Germany. The software,
|
|
|
0:08:42 – 0:08:50
The network is completely decentralized. So if any server fails, it runs
|
|
|
0:08:50 – 0:08:57
network is still. I also like that there is no parent company, no algorithm.
|
|
|
0:08:57 – 0:09:01
is behind it, but you really only get to see what you have subscribed and want,
|
|
|
0:09:01 – 0:09:11
if you just follow and then there is still TikTok and TikTok is entertaining pastime,
|
|
|
0:09:11 – 0:09:19
But also totally the plague and then I was on YouTube for a long time,
|
|
|
0:09:19 – 0:09:29
I also made videos. I think that's how I made my channel in 2009. I have already consumed
|
|
|
0:09:29 – 0:09:35
So much so, because then all the people who made their music videos at the time,
|
|
|
0:09:35 – 0:09:42
They packed up there. Because where did you have the opportunity to spend 15 minutes in a good quality
|
|
|
0:09:42 – 0:09:49
Uploading videos and that for Lau? Of course, creative minds have used this. I mean,
|
|
|
0:09:49 – 0:09:54
Otherwise, people like Coldmirror wouldn't still exist today and make a name for themselves.
|
|
|
0:09:54 – 0:10:02
because they used the offer at that time and uploaded their stuff
|
|
|
0:10:02 – 0:10:16
have. I started to make my channel in 2009, first as a netlabel to watch the videos
|
|
|
0:10:16 – 0:10:22
to pack it. But then I renamed it later, so it became the Fellmenschlabel
|
|
|
0:10:22 – 0:10:28
then "Failmensch Blog" and that was the first attempt for a blog with video content,
|
|
|
0:10:28 – 0:10:42
But also a written blog. That's what I did in 2016, nee 2018 was that,
|
|
|
0:10:42 – 0:10:49
In 2018 I changed that and then just turned it into the sound radio,
|
|
|
0:10:49 – 0:10:58
made the Lautfunk publication cartel and then renamed the YouTube channel and
|
|
|
0:10:58 – 0:11:03
the blog and the podcast and so on made everything that previously stopped among various
|
|
|
0:11:03 – 0:11:10
Things were going, atomic biotope and stuff like that, I'd put it all together in one place and I'd
|
|
|
0:11:10 – 0:11:19
This led to the publication cartel. By the way, I also find it totally funny. My cartel is always so negatively affected.
|
|
|
0:11:19 – 0:11:30
Yes, that was my career on YouTube. At some point I just didn't have a goat anymore.
|
|
|
0:11:30 – 0:11:34
It started like this two years ago. In the meantime, I had such a small hater wave.
|
|
|
0:11:34 – 0:11:41
These were then people who then stopped by my very calm and slow way to
|
|
|
0:11:41 – 0:11:47
I felt very annoyed and then bombarded with comments.
|
|
|
0:11:47 – 0:11:51
that I always said, you know what, that's just too stupid for me now,
|
|
|
0:11:51 – 0:11:57
This content is not important to me either, I just switch to private now. And since then,
|
|
|
0:11:57 – 0:12:04
All this in private as well. I'll just post them, so that's automatic.
|
|
|
0:12:04 – 0:12:12
that the videos from the podcast land on YouTube, just to take the reach with you. me
|
|
|
0:12:12 – 0:12:17
I've never had a very large reach, I think I have 1000 subscribers. How many of them really
|
|
|
0:12:17 – 0:12:23
I don't know, because I mean if a video has 20 or 30 views on me, so from
|
|
|
0:12:23 – 0:12:29
Podcast, then that's a lot and before that maybe after a month maybe times 100
|
|
|
0:12:29 – 0:12:35
calls. I have never really had such success. I've had it for years
|
|
|
0:12:35 – 0:12:43
Videos are made regularly, sometimes even twice a week. I didn't put any work in there,
|
|
|
0:12:43 – 0:12:51
That's what you have to say. That was cut over, that was audio-technically halfway okay,
|
|
|
0:12:51 – 0:12:59
but not cut, no color blurring, no horny background, no great LEDs,
|
|
|
0:12:59 – 0:13:06
not a light, but everything as rudimentary old school as people used to be,
|
|
|
0:13:06 – 0:13:12
They hung out on their webcam. The same was done, everything was recorded with the mobile phone.
|
|
|
0:13:12 – 0:13:23
I mean, the young people have been around for ages, and that's what's going on now.
|
|
|
0:13:23 – 0:13:29
Others like this, even the older ones, are geared towards this fast content. It is possible
|
|
|
0:13:29 – 0:13:36
because of the fact that breaths are cut out, relatively fast cuts, thought breaks,
|
|
|
0:13:36 – 0:13:44
Everything goes out, the text goes so bam bam bam bam bam bam bam. It has such a radio mentality where every second
|
|
|
0:13:44 – 0:13:54
cash is and people are just not able to stop something, which stops slowly
|
|
|
0:13:54 – 0:14:01
It is to be developed, to be endured. There's a little story about my friend who
|
|
|
0:14:01 – 0:14:13
Younger is like me and we had watched the movie 2001 Space Odyssey and she could
|
|
|
0:14:13 – 0:14:20
still bear the scene, where the monolith is with the prehistoric humans, with our ancestors,
|
|
|
0:14:20 – 0:14:27
but after the bones were broken with the thigh bones, there are the
|
|
|
0:14:27 – 0:14:38
Scene where it then goes over to the space station and she couldn't stand it. So,
|
|
|
0:14:38 – 0:14:47
This landing-amp flight from Earth to the space station is so celebrated by Stanley Kubrick,
|
|
|
0:14:47 – 0:14:55
in the smallest detail, the pictorial material, these sequences are celebrated,
|
|
|
0:14:55 – 0:15:04
where the spaceship, in this shuttle, is running and then stop this unwinding,
|
|
|
0:15:04 – 0:15:10
Because these are magnetic shoes, because otherwise there would be weightlessness. And this
|
|
|
0:15:10 – 0:15:18
It is so vividly depicted, but also so long-awaited, that we can only reach the
|
|
|
0:15:18 – 0:15:29
The space station has arrived. Yes, after that we had to go out. You have to think about that. And this
|
|
|
0:15:29 – 0:15:35
But I also experience this in my everyday life. People have such a short
|
|
|
0:15:35 – 0:15:44
A sense of purpose and a short time to concentrate on something, there are 15
|
|
|
0:15:44 – 0:15:56
Seconds almost an eternity. I mean well, I'm also looking at TikToks, but I can also
|
|
|
0:15:56 – 0:16:01
Let's go and spend hours on one thing. Or stop the birth
|
|
|
0:16:01 – 0:16:11
of the Star Child in 2010, where there really is a psychedelic rain of colors for 15 minutes
|
|
|
0:16:11 – 0:16:18
crashing into one. I can celebrate it, I can enjoy it as it is depicted
|
|
|
0:16:18 – 0:16:29
It will be how the Star Children are born. And now to come back to the subject at
|
|
|
0:16:29 – 0:16:37
TikTok. I tried a little bit to do something. We had live streams.
|
|
|
0:16:37 – 0:16:43
I cooked, my girlfriend streamed while eating and that was just such a casual talk.
|
|
|
0:16:43 – 0:16:49
We have had socially critical issues, current issues.
|
|
|
0:16:49 – 0:17:00
And yes, all this went on until a certain point, when too many negative things happened on the part of spectators,
|
|
|
0:17:00 – 0:17:06
We ended all of these activities when it comes to livestreaming.
|
|
|
0:17:06 – 0:17:12
Except for blogging and podcasting, we don't do anything anymore.
|
|
|
0:17:12 – 0:17:17
No more gaming livestreams, no more SoLiv livestreams.
|
|
|
0:17:17 – 0:17:20
This is all done, including the entire video content.
|
|
|
0:17:20 – 0:17:26
I only uploaded short snippets on TikTok from the,
|
|
|
0:17:26 – 0:17:30
Yes, what is such a special place in a podcast episode,
|
|
|
0:17:30 – 0:17:33
Let's take a look at the podcast episode.
|
|
|
0:17:33 – 0:17:37
I will post the same on other social networks.
|
|
|
0:17:37 – 0:17:40
Wherever there is video feed, the video goes.
|
|
|
0:17:40 – 0:17:47
Where there is an image feed or which works better with the images, an image comes along, accompanying text.
|
|
|
0:17:47 – 0:17:53
And so it's all screwed down and I don't know if I feel like it again, because
|
|
|
0:17:53 – 0:17:56
When I look at the entire online world,
|
|
|
0:17:56 – 0:18:00
You can no longer argue wisely.
|
|
|
0:18:00 – 0:18:03
Unless you're in such a halfway feel-good bubble
|
|
|
0:18:03 – 0:18:10
How about Mastodon, the Chaos Computer Server?
|
|
|
0:18:10 – 0:18:13
Otherwise, you can no longer discuss.
|
|
|
0:18:13 – 0:18:19
People are immediately pissed off or they threaten you.
|
|
|
0:18:19 – 0:18:22
You sometimes experience things started from swatting
|
|
|
0:18:22 – 0:18:25
Or stop over malicious pizza orders.
|
|
|
0:18:25 – 0:18:27
It's all there.
|
|
|
0:18:27 – 0:18:30
And I can understand when people say or when I also interview
|
|
|
0:18:30 – 0:18:33
Ask content creators what they say.
|
|
|
0:18:33 – 0:18:39
You're not at the moment, because this and the other former content creator,
|
|
|
0:18:39 – 0:18:43
Those who have been so active say when they respond.
|
|
|
0:18:43 – 0:18:48
You don't want to put your face on the internet right now.
|
|
|
0:18:48 – 0:18:50
And then they get out of there.
|
|
|
0:18:52 – 0:18:55
Because they just had bad experiences.
|
|
|
0:18:55 – 0:18:57
And I can understand all that.
|
|
|
0:18:57 – 0:19:05
For me, social media is just antisocial.
|
|
|
0:19:05 – 0:19:09
social media.
|
|
|
0:19:09 – 0:19:11
When I look at it, I see how it is handled.
|
|
|
0:19:11 – 0:19:17
You even have themed groups on Facebook.
|
|
|
0:19:19 – 0:19:24
If you have a behavior, it's under a sow.
|
|
|
0:19:24 – 0:19:27
Someone comes and has a question,
|
|
|
0:19:27 – 0:19:29
Because he's in an aquarium group.
|
|
|
0:19:29 – 0:19:34
I want to talk about aquaristics.
|
|
|
0:19:34 – 0:19:37
And if that's a pretty stupid question,
|
|
|
0:19:37 – 0:19:40
For someone who is familiar with it,
|
|
|
0:19:40 – 0:19:44
He'll be fucked up and then he'll come back.
|
|
|
0:19:44 – 0:20:05
As on the playground the spelt mothers and the oat fathers then come there the fish lovers and the snail lovers and you have not seen who everything and tell you what you have done all wrong, what you have all lousy in the pool, that it is not species-appropriate.
|
|
|
0:20:05 – 0:20:14
Apart from the fact that it is not species-appropriate to pack a fish in a worst case 60 liter basin or smaller.
|
|
|
0:20:14 – 0:20:20
Even a 180 liter basin is really antisocial from a certain fish size or number.
|
|
|
0:20:20 – 0:20:30
Yes, they tell you, that's not close to nature and you can't and you can't and then you have to do that.
|
|
|
0:20:30 – 0:20:36
That's what you'll find out from 20 people who have 20 completely different opinions,
|
|
|
0:20:36 – 0:20:41
But everyone agrees that you're not doing it right.
|
|
|
0:20:41 – 0:20:46
And this is usually really rough.
|
|
|
0:20:46 – 0:20:52
And this is also the case in other groups on Facebook, but this is also the case on Twitter.
|
|
|
0:20:52 – 0:21:00
I mean, if in the past, yes today, let's say influencers had stress with each other, YouTubers,
|
|
|
0:21:00 – 0:21:10
then you met at the Gamescom behind all Hall 8 and clarified that. In
|
|
|
0:21:10 – 0:21:19
worst case, one had a bump and the other had an ad on the popo and then the
|
|
|
0:21:19 – 0:21:26
Things were done. These days you go over months and commit any
|
|
|
0:21:26 – 0:21:34
litigation. There are lawyers who write wildly any e-mails and letters and
|
|
|
0:21:34 – 0:21:41
here. There is a lot of money being burned because there are legal proceedings, urgent applications and hatred.
|
|
|
0:21:41 – 0:21:47
Not seen. Honestly, I'd rather see where they came from at Gamescom.
|
|
|
0:21:47 – 0:21:55
It was behind Hall 8, because after that the thing had been eaten. Yes, well, unless,
|
|
|
0:21:55 – 0:22:09
It's called Mimi, so there are a lot of videos on the subject. Yeah, what am I supposed to say about that? You can
|
|
|
0:22:09 – 0:22:19
It's almost like experiencing dissatisfaction in society for years.
|
|
|
0:22:19 – 0:22:29
Increasingly increasing. And that's once in this Internet thing, but also outside. I see
|
|
|
0:22:29 – 0:22:35
and hear only that people are upset and insulted,
|
|
|
0:22:35 – 0:22:44
how crappy everything is and you choose the supposedly next weaker,
|
|
|
0:22:44 – 0:22:54
to stand against it. Yeah, that's tough tobak, folks. And because you're just outside,
|
|
|
0:22:54 – 0:22:59
If you go there and just bully someone, you have to reckon with the fact that,
|
|
|
0:22:59 – 0:23:05
who is supposedly weak, who is perhaps stronger, because he who is under the jacket
|
|
|
0:23:05 – 0:23:12
It looks small and paltry, but maybe it's a pretty well-trained athlete,
|
|
|
0:23:12 – 0:23:17
Maybe even a martial artist who, with one stroke, nods the light so that you
|
|
|
0:23:17 – 0:23:25
The next two weeks don't even know how to eat your schnitzel, that's on the Internet
|
|
|
0:23:25 – 0:23:31
Totally easy, because I'm in quotes anonymously on the way and can stop there my love
|
|
|
0:23:31 – 0:23:41
slipping out among the people. Yes, for me the topic is social media except for SEO, technology and
|
|
|
0:23:41 – 0:23:48
Marketing, advertising for my projects pretty much done. I'm talking to important people about it.
|
|
|
0:23:48 – 0:23:55
Contact, but most of it runs with me through any messenger and even if I go
|
|
|
0:23:55 – 0:24:03
And then someone asks for it, doesn't have a hand and a foot, because most of them
|
|
|
0:24:03 – 0:24:09
People just don't react. I already noticed at that time, from a certain size,
|
|
|
0:24:09 – 0:24:14
YouTubers just haven't written back. As they were small, they got on every e-mail
|
|
|
0:24:14 – 0:24:21
But as soon as you get into the YouTube affiliate program, the
|
|
|
0:24:21 – 0:24:29
Most of them are no longer written back. And I think it's a pity, because when you go with
|
|
|
0:24:29 – 0:24:35
someone wants to entertain as it is in public, quotes, public
|
|
|
0:24:35 – 0:24:40
To live and then just the shit that happens on the Internet as it is,
|
|
|
0:24:40 – 0:24:50
To live with it, I have so far only had male guests, with one exception.
|
|
|
0:24:50 – 0:24:58
And I would like to have more women, because there is also another side of the coin,
|
|
|
0:24:58 – 0:25:07
because to be offended as a man, as a son of hair and so on, is indeed unpleasant and so,
|
|
|
0:25:07 – 0:25:13
But when women are offended on the Internet and then each time are reduced to their appearance,
|
|
|
0:25:13 – 0:25:19
when photos are taken, when screenshots are taken because they just got up and you
|
|
|
0:25:19 – 0:25:28
Maybe you could imagine the imprint of a nipple with a lot of imagination or just hold your butt
|
|
|
0:25:28 – 0:25:35
To catch it, yes, then it has a completely different level for me. Because if someone
|
|
|
0:25:35 – 0:25:44
Hair son says to me, my God, do you know my mother? No, how do you know? I don't care about that.
|
|
|
0:25:44 – 0:25:50
But if you're being sexualized all the time, it'd really go on my sack.
|
|
|
0:25:50 – 0:25:56
And I know from many women from conversations that they are also on the sack.
|
|
|
0:25:56 – 0:26:05
That's why there are such rules in such groups, no matter where, that you can't write to someone without asking.
|
|
|
0:26:05 – 0:26:16
because the e-mail compartments of my girlfriends or ex-girlfriends are all full up to the top
|
|
|
0:26:16 – 0:26:25
were of some helpful young men who had a lot of love to forgive,
|
|
|
0:26:25 – 0:26:35
To put it this way. And sometimes amazingly large family trees
|
|
|
0:26:35 – 0:26:47
Provided photo documentary. I hope you know what I mean. I would do that as a woman.
|
|
|
0:26:47 – 0:26:52
really go on the sack and I already have here with my girlfriend in a different format
|
|
|
0:26:52 – 0:27:02
Talk about such things. I can only do this with other friends.
|
|
|
0:27:02 – 0:27:08
or even relationships that I had, where they keep giving me things like that again and again,
|
|
|
0:27:08 – 0:27:12
look here again such a highlight, or look here you have written,
|
|
|
0:27:12 – 0:27:18
That's really annoying. And I don't know anything like that. The worst thing that ever happened to me,
|
|
|
0:27:18 – 0:27:28
I've talked about this before, whether I've been told this before.
|
|
|
0:27:28 – 0:27:35
As a woman, you satisfy yourself when you hear my voice. Yes, that was with me
|
|
|
0:27:35 – 0:27:42
The worst, and that has bothered me a lot and made me think. So,
|
|
|
0:27:42 – 0:27:53
Social media is really difficult. Like I said, I use it. I used to really love it.
|
|
|
0:27:53 – 0:28:03
What did I love about Google+? Yes, that's what Google+ was called, with these circles, with the cycles.
|
|
|
0:28:03 – 0:28:11
And that I automatically stop when I have sorted people into certain circles, automatically then
|
|
|
0:28:11 – 0:28:17
There were certain things that could lead to them. I was able to take pictures and
|
|
|
0:28:17 – 0:28:23
the people who were in the photos had all allowed it to stop, then
|
|
|
0:28:23 – 0:28:29
They automatically got the photos where they were. It had such great functions,
|
|
|
0:28:29 – 0:28:38
but was somehow stillborn, because at the latest where then this compulsion was with YouTube,
|
|
|
0:28:38 – 0:28:44
If you needed a Google+ account, it was burned. The young people were so
|
|
|
0:28:44 – 0:28:52
so excited, I don't want that, they haven't all seen the benefit of it and how good
|
|
|
0:28:52 – 0:29:04
It was organized. But this is an old man talking about the potato war. Even old networks,
|
|
|
0:29:04 – 0:29:12
So something like Studi-Fotzett or something, pupil-Fotzett. Well, I was definitely too old for pupil puppet now, but Studi puppet.
|
|
|
0:29:12 – 0:29:30
Pooh, that had all so niceness and there was little rumbollert, of course so, what a horny stallion I am and so,
|
|
|
0:29:30 – 0:29:38
But it also had a damn superficiality. So there were such groups as "It shines, it
|
|
|
0:29:38 – 0:29:46
glittering, I have to have that" and there was only quite a lot of nonsense posted. Can be funny
|
|
|
0:29:46 – 0:29:53
be for pastime, but I think in the 2000s there was kind of internet still a bit
|
|
|
0:29:53 – 0:30:01
More guilty. If I think about it, the beginners, yes where I still dialed into the Internet with modem
|
|
|
0:30:01 – 0:30:13
I have and how few trolls there were, sometimes I wish that time back. Really,
|
|
|
0:30:13 – 0:30:21
There was a time when you could connect a computer with a radio modem to a radio.
|
|
|
0:30:21 – 0:30:30
It is also known as CBFunk or amateur radio. And just the fact that it's a
|
|
|
0:30:30 – 0:30:37
had to tinker a bit and that this was not always so easy to configure, made sure that
|
|
|
0:30:37 – 0:30:45
that the proportion of idiots, i.e. flat pipes, to put it this way, was quite small,
|
|
|
0:30:45 – 0:30:59
because the hurdle for technical understanding and configuration was so high that you could stop with
|
|
|
0:30:59 – 0:31:07
this remote data transmission via CB, radio or amateur radio has affected few people,
|
|
|
0:31:07 – 0:31:16
They wanted something bad or they wanted something bad. It was always an open, friendly communication.
|
|
|
0:31:16 – 0:31:32
I would like to have that back sometimes, but I hope that somehow Blue Sky develops as nicely as it is.
|
|
|
0:31:32 – 0:31:41
I think at the latest, when this commercial idea comes in more, because they come to the beginning to earn money, the thing goes down the drain again.
|
|
|
0:31:41 – 0:31:54
Or if they don't get it, that there is a reasonable moderation, that you can block people who just give you on the transmitter.
|
|
|
0:31:54 – 0:31:58
Yes, there is reasonable administration.
|
|
|
0:31:58 – 0:32:05
Social media has become so exhausting.
|
|
|
0:32:05 – 0:32:11
And I loved it, this free exchange.
|
|
|
0:32:11 – 0:32:17
Just like I thought it was great to make YouTube videos and then just get the comments.
|
|
|
0:32:17 – 0:32:22
I've been happy about every new subscriber I've won.
|
|
|
0:32:22 – 0:32:26
I was happy about every like.
|
|
|
0:32:26 – 0:32:29
But the times are over.
|
|
|
0:32:29 – 0:32:34
So, now I've been talking about a topic again for 33 minutes.
|
|
|
0:32:34 – 0:32:39
I'm a bit digressive, not so much, but was always very dense thematically
|
|
|
0:32:39 – 0:32:44
I'd love to see you again next time it's called
|
|
|
0:32:44 – 0:32:49
"The digression", if I just deviate from the topic.
|
|
|
0:32:49 – 0:32:53
I say thank you and goodbye!
|

0:32:53 – 0:32:53
