Let me explain. I use a contest-sharing site that, for a small monthly fee, has a new list of contests each day. This site, SweepsAdvantage.com, does not sponsor the contests; you pay only to read the list and link to a contest that interests you.
After I choose a contest to enter, I click on the link supplied by SweepsAdvantage.com and enter my information on the Contest Sponsor's entry page. Then, I often have a chance to receive extra entries by clicking on a link to the Contest Sponsor's social media page. I have/had social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, X, TicTok, YouTube, and Pinterest.

I deleted FB first because I could not control the negative memes I reposted of Trumpty Dumpty and his friends. I consider myself one with great control, but my need to be ugly about our political situation was making me a lesser person than them. Also, I want Mr Z to realize his removal of verifying truth was unacceptable.
I kept FB's sister site, Instagram, because I use it frequently to enter contests. I haven't decided how to get around this dilemma.
I also deleted X/Twitter, which I used only for occasional contests, to show King Musk what I think of him. I'm sure it did not significantly reduce his income.
I also deleted TicTok, which I only used for contesting.
I still have YouTube and Pinterest accounts open, which I am deliberating on pending further research.
For now, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest will remain, while my chances of gaining extra entries from deleted social media sites will decline.
BTW, I recently unsubscribed to all of my paid and unpaid news subscriptions. However, like Shirley, other news sources from new and varied sources keep popping up. I keep unsubscribing as they appear, but I can't help but see the headlines that depress or anger me to no end.
Sometimes it hurts to make a point.

It does hurt to make a point. Produce from the U.S. is cheaper than produce from other countries but that is the price we’ll pay to make a point.
ReplyDeleteWell when we don't have any workers to pick the fruits and veggies, the prices are really going to go up.
DeleteIf everyone does something, no matter how small to protest, it all adds up.
ReplyDeleteBloody politics sucks all the fun out of life!
ReplyDeleteI've pretty much turned off national news. I just can't stand it. I watch some local news and weather. The only account i have us FB. None of the other stuff. But I hope you can continue to enjoy entering contests.
