Ah, interesting. I wasn't aware of more recent political testing. I'm not doing any tests again nor new ones.

IMO, judging the vibe on SaidIt is like looking through a keyhole. I can only see what I can see, with my biases and preferred topical subs and communities and friends, etc. IMO Saidit ebbs and flows with heavy flows and dry spells and informed banter and stupid trolls. When I discuss these or read others views they're often contrary to my own because I haven't seen what they have. It's very curious and peculiar.

Since before the election it's seemed to me that the over all noise and activity has dropped dramatically. (Fine by me. I just keep on - until I don't.) Last week I looked up the analytics on SaidIt and found a strange anomaly. I haven't shared it yet. I was procrastinating. Last night I couldn't sleep so I finally posted (dumped) a big folder of recent stuff I'd meant to share.

Usually when multitasking at my box I post as I go (unless I'm blocked by Saidit's security). If I'm doing things with my headphones on all I do is save it to share (if worthy). In this I've realized what a giant timesuck it is. I copypaste the time length and creator for all the YouTube stuff I share (99%). I've felt like a human robot for some time. I now realize I can't continue this soul sucking shit anymore without a simple browser addon (or SaidIt update) to do that for me (then with that I'll just have to select the target sub). I know I could just post the title, but it just seems wrong for videos. This is a good thing though. I need to quit my addiction to SaidIt and my compulsion to share the endless great stuff I find. I need to create my own content too, and I can't do that tied up on SaidIt. Plus I need to earn some funds to not scrape by monthly anymore. I need to finish drafting my "Trillion Dollar Idea" and "Quitting SaidIt" posts to make it official so I may withdraw. Sort of. I'll be shifting my SaidIt activity primarily to music - so I can listen and focus as I create. Plus I need to catch up on 550 messages.

For the record, I didn't take a test for my post here. I guesstimated. I was just implying that on SaidIt I've been exposed to more Right ideas bringing me more center, and this lockdown shit has me more anti-gov than ever, if you can believe it.
