If you get a million views in YouTube, can you gain a small income through that?
Can you partner up with other names/creators to raise awareness/visibility to your own name/work?
Sometimes you need to keep standing your ground. Explain how it is and if they don’t believe you, ignore them.
Do you wish to get money? Is this a hobby?

I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)…
To my knowledge (of one month), it’s easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
We are fighting against people’s time. How should they use it?
And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.
(I’m not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place 💓
I’d like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)

I don’t do anything else than laundry gauntlet.
I once washed one piece of cloth on its own but it felt like a huuuge waste!
Nowadays I take my chances. But I must say that my clothing doesn’t seem to take that much damage (obviously they’d live longer otherwise but I don’t want to fill a whole machine worth of water for one piece of clothing, that’s nuts!).
Maybe different in America, but here in Finland I’ve never been asked to pay myself so I could volunteer. And I’ve been in few different places. And I also haven’t needed to provide any kind of CV to do volunteering (nobody has asked for such information).
Sometimes I’m offered free food, free products, free fun time and even one-time payments (they pay me - which I still find strange since I haven’t gotten used to it!).
I think, to truly boycott something, is to actually be invested in it. To really NOT buy or use a service or product, no matter the situation. To look for other products and services that are more moral and to start using them instead, even when the costs would be higher.
What is important to you?
You can hate the system, hate someone, a thing, product, service. Something. But it’s your choice, will you actually do differently or still just follow the path they made for you as an option to follow. And sometimes it may be the only path available.
Would probably depend on how strongly my survive instinct would kick in, and what I’d be willing to do to survive. And of course on how we as a society would deal with this big change.
