Hello Everyone,

Now that I have your attention, I hope I didn't insult you.
I’ve finally realized that I needed an actual introduction post. I learned about Steemit from my classmates in a class about social media. I’m currently a student studying broadcasting media and have no idea what I’ll do after I graduate next year (I hope).🤞🏼
My name is Albert & as you can see I'm slightly paranoid of my face being all over the internet. After taking a course on social media at the university level, I began to question why I had posted what I posted on other platforms before.
EXAMPLE
Facebook. I haven't really posted there in ages because as a friend, who passed away so young, told me once that it was truly selfish and pretentious to feel that your opinion is so unique and valuable (amongst the billions of people in this world) that you must comment on everything that catches your attention.
I suppose that you learn to appreciate privacy, anonymity, and learn how technology can be used to suppress, harass, extort, intimidate, or even endanger the billions of lives of social media users. Especially, now that facial recognition software is being used and widely available.
I hope I didn't scare you
I mean social media platforms also have benefits and that's why I'm trying this again after being suspended from Twitter
What fascinates me
Anything related to POP CULTURE catches my attention. I use to be very anti-mainstream culture like how hipsters are preceived to prefer, but I learned to appreciate pop culture after taking a class on the history of pop culture (yes, that university class actually exists at San Francisco State University).
I hope to enrich Steemit with different types of content mostly related to pop culture and art.
I have other hobbies and interests but I feel pop culture is highly underrepresented on this platform. I know it's kind of junk media but it really is a reflection of our current society. Here's a LINK to my first posting on pop art to give you an idea on what I want to cover.
Fun Fact about my blogging experience
I once wrote an extensive blog all about the sleazy over-the-top film Showgirls and it's revelance and contribution to our culture. 😂🤣
Thank you for your time.

How is the steemit journey?
Hi, I'm still trying to figure this out. I was going to post about everything that deals with pop culture, but I'm having a difficult time trying to find my niche. Also, I'm not sure if I'll join those automatic voting system groups or if I'll have to pay for bots. I'm not sure. The more I read and look at successful posting, the more I'm convince that they pay for bots. I don't know if I want to go that route. What do you think?
I agree, I dont use any bots, I am here 5 months and doing the little things I know. I vote till My power is doen to 89-90 and than stop. I post atleast twice a day and have t got a niche. I post things that happen in My life. I set a goal to do this 6-12 months and then decide if I want to stay.
Pop and music are big tags just start and See
Well keep in touch
Cool, this sounds like a plan. I think I'm going to cover trashy pop culture as I find it somewhat amusing. Besides, I haven't really found it on here yet. You upvote? You never upvoted me lol jk. I try to upvote but my vote isnt worth anything yet. I still try. Yeah those bots are weird and autovoting ruins looking and seeing content. Thanks for the heads up. I added you to follow. I need to look at who I follow because sometimes people just reblog and reblog content I don't care to look at. I need to be more selective who I follow. Cheers
Facebook and YouTube and Twitter suspended me.
Why @joeyarnoldvn ? They blocked me because apparently they considered 4 consecutive tweets about joining some alt coin's air drop spamming. I've tried numerous times to get it unblocked but so far have been unsuccessful.
i was blocked for talking about world war 2
