I guess I haven't posted here for a while.
I hope everyone is doing well. As for me, since Facebook shadow banned my Pappy Glass account. My reach has reduced drastically. I went from gaining an average of 250 followers per month and up to 200 concurrent livestream viewers in September of 2023. To no net new followers and 20 concurrent viewers per stream since November of 2023. Those viewers, who I love and appreciate, have already purchased glass art from me. They can't be expected to keep on doing it. Without exposure to new, or at least more, viewers continuing to stream as my primary source of income became futile.
This is an example of censorship destroying a business. It's un-American, authoritarian, and wrong. What I expressed then is now being largely understood by many more people. Our "closest" ally really isn't. It's policies, tactics, and goals are evil. Continuing to support it reflects poorly on our nation, our budget, and our claims of being a representative democracy.
