GOODBYE SOCIAL MEDIA... HELLO COMMUNITY
Hey, friends! Let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while. Social media—you know it, you’re scrolling it, you probably got here through it. But here’s the deal: I’m done. I’m moving my content, my creativity, and my community to Substack, and I want to tell you why this move is a game-changer—for me and for you.
Algorithms Are Ruining the Fun
Ever felt like you’re not in control of what you see online? That’s because you’re not. Algorithms are running the show. They decide what’s trending, what gets pushed to the top of your feed, and—here’s the kicker—what’s kept hidden. You’re not discovering content; you’re being fed content. It’s like going to a buffet but only being allowed to eat the same three dishes. That’s not how I want to connect with you. I want to share what I love, not what an algorithm decides will keep you scrolling.
On Substack, there are no sneaky algorithms dictating the experience. It’s just me sharing what I’m passionate about—photography, creativity, telling stories, and life—directly with you. No middleman, no filters, just real content.
Social Media Is Becoming a Toxic Wasteland
Let’s be real for a second. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter… or X, whatever Elon is calling it now have become breeding grounds for negativity. The constant cycle of outrage, comparison, and doom-scrolling? It’s exhausting. And it’s not just hurting our mental health; it’s crushing creativity. Don’t get me started on Tik- Tok. I don’t dance so I never cared for that platform.
I’ve been looking at Substack for a while now and to be honest with you, it feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s a space where I can focus on building something, not just reacting to everything. A place to foster meaningful conversations instead of watching another comment section descend into chaos. It’s about creating, not competing.
Building a Real Community
What I’ve always loved about what I do isn’t just creating cool videos or capturing epic photos; it’s the connection. It’s you. The people who show up, who engage, who want to learn and grow. That’s what drives me. But let’s face it: social media isn’t exactly built for deep, meaningful interactions. It’s fast, fleeting, and shallow.
Substack lets us slow down. It’s like sitting down for coffee instead of shouting across a crowded room. I want to build a space where we can have real conversations—about creativity, gear, storytelling, and everything in between. A place where your voice matters just as much as mine.
Education for Creators
Here’s the kicker: I’m not just looking to build a community for the sake of it. I want it to be a hub for learning and growth. Whether you’re the one behind the lens or in front of it, this is the place for you. I’ll be sharing tips, tutorials, stories, and insights—all aimed at helping you level up your craft. Imagine a space where you can learn without the noise, distractions, and pressure of social media. That’s what I’m creating.
So… why Substack?
Substack is different. It’s a platform that values quality over quantity, depth over clicks. It’s email-based, which means it comes straight to you. No ads, no distractions, no fluff. Just content—delivered directly to you.
Join Me
So here’s my pitch: jump over to my Substack. Let’s build something awesome together. Let’s create a space where creativity thrives, where we lift each other up, and where we learn and grow as a community. Let’s leave the noise behind and focus on what really matters.
