Internet housekeeping

A short update:

I cleaned up this blog and removed over 300 personal entries and old rants.

I stopped posting on Medium.

I no longer comment on the Internet and I also do not allow comments under my own content.

I closed my Linkedin account in December 2024 and could no longer access it myself – but Linkedin being the platform that it is kept my profile alive and I could not do anything about that. I now revived my account on that platform to regain some control over my profile and my data there, but I severed all of my Linkedin “connections” because, let’s face it, it’s the worst platform in existence and it serves absolutely no purpose for its users – only Linkedin the company profits from the user data that it can mine there.

I still maintain my YouTube channel, simply because I am very interested in learning more about video recording and editing and I also care deeply about gaming. I refuse to typecast myself, so I might occasionally also post videos about other topics there. But I will not engage in online discussions with random people who might want to post something under my videos and thus I will always keep the comments section closed.

And that is because I wholeheartedly agree with what Lada Gaga so eloquently said about Social Media:

“Social media, quite frankly, is the toilet of the Internet.”
