So you're quitting saidit but in one of the first comments you say "I'll still be around here", how does that work? Come on man at least stand for something.

I am standing for something. Did you even read it?
In summary...

 

A: I'm quitting my SaidIt-sharing-focus to prioritize interactive projects to be shared on SaidIt.

Yes, this post title is obviously click-bait. I'm quitting SaidIt to stay on SaidIt.

Ultimately this means I'll no longer be sharing many posts, won't engage much in comments, and can't be up on all the latest current events - all this to become a counter-propaganda content creator and info-resistance organizer. [...] I anticipate your feedback to my occasional posts and invite your involvement to help shape those projects.

 

What would you have me do?

You sure are replying a lot on this thread. Generally when someone says they are quitting something it doesnt mean you'll still be around but in a dimished capacity, it means you're done doing that thing. Sounds like you're just kind of quitting, which seems like a cop out but hey man do your thing. I just dont know of many people who just kind of quite something, its usually an all or nothing thing when you use language like that. So are standing for just kind of quitting something? Seems like some muddy ground to place the pedistool my friend.

Specifically I'm quitting my news-sharing role here to do original content projects that I'll share and seek feedback on. The truth-seeker community feedback is the reason I joined SaidIt 2.5 years ago.

Maybe you don't care. That's fine. Many of my other friends will be interested.

As I stated - I know it's clickbait. I also want the most eyes and voices weighing in on my survey. This is promotional, building to decisions that will determine my fate for the next 5-10 years or more.

Yea your right I don't care. Thought you were taking a real stand but instead it's click bait promotional garbage like the rest of this site. Thanks buddy

Yet you care enough to chime in with your demotivational attitude. I am taking a stand and taking action greater than just sharing and commenting. Like it or not, being a content creator requires self-promotion. No one else will toot my horn - at least not until I get noticed and the work can speak for itself. This is the modern world.

But you're not quitting saidit, which is what you put in the title. Judging from the frequency of your comments you don't seem to be taking any different action. Question for you, Is not liking promotional clickbait titles deemed a "demotivational attitude"? Is demotivational even a word? Is it demotivational to point out something objective like, "Hey your titled clearly said one thing but that clearly isn't what you are saying in your actual post?" Is that called gaslighting or something? Either way, clickbait sucks and I don't know if it's necessarily required for self-promotion. Do what you do though my brother, I hope it works out for you. Don't take yourself too seriously though.

You said you don't care, yet you cared enough to be negatively critical, repeatedly. That's your prerogative. I can understand your confusion, though others don't seem to share it, and I even understand your dislike of self-promotional shit. But this is the world we live in.

You could argue that clickbait is akin to gaslighting except I clearly explained myself and my motives, so it's not actually deceptive.

I state in my post (and even in the sidebox), that I'm here for feedback. You can look at the rest of my user profile history to see that I'm not as active as I was.

Some of the options are serious. Some are definitely not. If I do my /s/LeverMind Variety Show project then I'll most certainly not be taking myself seriously at all.
