"Like a bathroom graffiti that millions of people can see.", that cracked me up lol.

I follow and today it's easy, because they just locked my account for not being okay about how israel is behaving ...

Israel behaves only one way.

I never understood Twitter. It just seemed like another time waster to me.

Hi James. Thank you for fact checking Newsbud's 'Syria Under Siege' propaganda piece and setting the record straight on Sibel Edmonds and her lackey Spiro. I worked at Newsbud around this time last year, and left last August because of similar dishonest, self-destructive behavior from those two. You mentioned my show 'Mind Hack'on one of your episodes around that time, I think #145.

Anyway, just wanted to connect with you and let you know I appreciate your work. If you and Broc ever need extra help w/ video post-production, now you know where to find me! :)

I wonder if George Orwell would have been on Twitter, were he here today...

No doubt, he'd have beaten 1984 followers!

weaponisation and draconian censorship aside...

Yes you are right, as far as actual engagement goes, it's a lovely idea, but doesn't actually exist...follow me...follow you...rage-tweets...nonsenical movements, and YES you nailed it...

SOCIAL ENGINEERING!

Lemmings stumble off the edge of that particular precipice daily in ever increasing, exponential numbers. I wholeheartedly support what you are doing and shall be joining the movement to, armed with a #hashtag and a condensed, simple explanation of decentralised, blockchain technology.

You, sir, will be a greater loss to them than they to you.

Thankyou, thankyou, thank YOU!

This has needed to be a forefront agenda for some time.

I know I have found my home and my people, time to unpack and roll up my metaphorical battle-sleeves.

I've been thinking this over since I saw this same excerpt in your larger podcast about the beef your fact-checking. I only use Twitter to send out my links to the BitCoin faucets I hope to gain referrals for. I looked it up & I haven't gotten one referral from Twitter so..... Byby Twitter!
#deletetwitter

There is always the ALTERNATIVE TO TWITTER -ZAPPL https://zappl.com
Zappl is a micro-blogging site that runs on decentralized technology but average joe is better off without any of them if possible.

Exactly!

So i guess you #deleteFacebook wouldnt have worked on you....
Really no fb....you are a great person..
Addiction to twitter and you are deleting it...you really have a great will power...i guess weponization of social media is working ....great ..really appreciated...
I will tweet it that, they have lost a gem person and he aint coming back..

I deleted one of my Twitter accounts, three of my Facebook pages and one of my Reddit accounts two weeks ago, but not the ones for my business. Still deciding if I can - and want to - disconnect that aspect of my life from these large networks.

I still believe Steem - or something like it - will be the future / model for our social networks. User controlled, funded and encrypted from soup to nuts!

I hate Twitter!. I'm still there, but I rarely even look at my page anymore. I've had some really hateful comments, too and I am a nobody channel! I lean toward conservative, libertarian values and I feel vastly outnumbered there. I like how you coined the term "ThemTube" for youtube. I feel the same thing there. It is a hard left leaning organization and the censorship is getting to be insane.

I would join you but I have never found a use for twitter beyond reading Trump's tweets and you don't have to log in to do that.

Twitter will have to be deleted for what I wanted to know. Twitter is doing any fraud with us!

Never was and most likely never will be on Twitter

Hmmm, if I were to guess, I'd say I've spent about 1 -2 hours MAX on Twitter in the last 9 years. I could never really make sense of it, never saw how it added value for me. So, delete it? Sure, why not, when I get a chance (or if I remember)...I actually can't even think of the last time I was on there, but next time I get on, I'll delete :)

I think Twitter used to be good. It pushed me further along the "waking up" route around 2011-12, mainly because I had cognitive dissonance about some of the tweets I was reading, and then clicked on their links...
But my account has been dormant for the past few years - due to people following me just to promote their business to me; bots following me and then unfollowing as soon as I followed back; less engagement and more selling I suppose. In the early days I found it a very friendly medium.

I had an account but never used that shit anyways, if not I would join you instantly!

Just terminated my Twitter account in the last hour. Never used it much anyway, never saw a point in it. It was something I wanted to do for a while, but procrastination had taken the best of me! :) Step by step, I'm going decentralized and free from tyranny.

got a serious question. Is James Corbett on Twitter?

I’ve been blocked for calling the candidate for governor of Illinois a fucking COMMUNIST . LOL 😆 I was just recently blocked for getting into an intense fight with what I believe was a CIA troll . And when I told IT I would sue its ass for slander BOOM . BLOCKED , so I was RIGHT . This piece of crap could only respond with memes using my face , or other people’s faces . Which to me shows low intelligence . I NEVER liked twitter . I always thought it was a limited way of communicating . I mean really what can you say of any substance in 140 characters ⁉️NOTHING but smart ass remarks and memes 😆 I caught this little bitch in his own shit and then he tried playing off . Twitter is just full of CIA trolls and despondent infintiles trying to become popular and not really concerned about the facts . Twitter has been repeatedly asking me to UN-BLOCK my account but I must give them my phone number to as they say VERIFY that it is me ⁉️😆😂🤣 Yeah right . You can’t be trusted with my freedom of speech but then I’m going to give you my phone number ⁉️ LOL 😆 How delusional are they ❓I’m not going to completely close the account yet because I see lawsuits on the horizon for data farming , and I want in on that ass 😁 . All these social media sites are just spy ops . And so that I’m not accused of anything I did VIOLATE EVERY RULE they had to prove a point . Being that there is no free speech on their site and that trolls can do whatever they want including slander and defamation of character . And I’ll bet that twitter TWAT is still there . OH I took snap shots of the conversation so they can try to block that but its already TOO LATE for them . The world is waking up to their lying deceitful ass and pay back is a bitch . Look for a gigantic gangbang on all USA corporation operations . There will be NO PLACE TO HIDE for them .

I've never been a fan of any centralized social media, and I was reluctant to join steemit, as it can also be a huge time consumer.

I'm curious to know what James thinks of steemit, as an alternative to most social networks?

Newsbud showed me it's true colors this morning when I tried to login. Mysteriously, my user name, stevesmith, is now not recognized. I wonder if it could have something to do with the one comment I made expressing my displeasure about them attacking Daniel McAdams and promising to discontinue my support if they went after James Corbett. Hmmm.
I wonder if they are going to refund the money I paid to become a member.

Who reads the links? Exactly. I don't see how anyone can keep up with their so called "friends" on there. It's just a blast of sxxt.

I used to use it as a travel writer to get stuff out there but it came down to getting more jobs as a freelancer you had to brag how many followers are to prove how much of an "influencer" you are to get more jobs.

I just got sneakily blocked from twitter - cant change password loop!
Good. It wasted a lot of my time. Now I am properly exploring minds.com, DTube, gab and Steemit. :-)

I deleted my twitter on January 2, 2018 and have not missed it one bit! FB was permanently deleted a year ago.
