Having followed up on the heels of the MySpace craze of the mid-2000s and having gained its initial usership through colleges before opening beyond college campuses in the late 2000s, in early 2020 Facebook is still the first name that comes to mind for social media. It was dominant for a decade but has seen …

Twitter Report
Coming to prominence around 2009, Twitter.com is the most famous “micro-blogging” site. With drastic character count limitations that force posts to be concise or to overflow into a waterfalling series of so-called tweets, Twitter pushed for the dubious adoption of URL-shorteners that provide a short proxy URL that does not indicate a given link’s destination …
BitChute Report
BITCHUTE.COM If you are looking for the best Alt-Tech parallel to YouTube, look at Odysee. BitChute used to be the top contender, but at the time of writing their “edgy” content that would be hidden by the YouTube algorgithm or outright banned/deplatformed tends to dominate the experience. To their credit, BitChute is allowing its users …
Gab Report
GAB.COM Whereas Gab.com has suffered coordinated media attacks from the lying fakestream media companies to which they are a threat, Gab.com is essentially the free-speech version of Twitter. (Twitter, you may recall, initially took the previously unheard-of step of permanently banneing Milo Yiannopoulous in 2015… Since then, Twitter has accelerated its banning and shadow-banning behavior …
YouTube Report
YouTube remains the go-to online video platform and the second-largest search engine (specializing in video content), owned by Google. Videos on YouTube show up in Google’s search results, and many searchers prefer video over reading website or blog content. Video is essential to most SEO, content marketing, and social media marketing strategies. Publishing and distributing …
Pinterest Report
Pinterest is great for sharing, or “pinning” infographics, articles, and videos, which essentially distributes them among different channels seeking relevant links and visual-based media content. Pinterest now has a native video feature that is still in its infancy, but look for that to potentially become stronger and more prominent in the future. Pinning videos is …
Instagram Report
When Instagram first debuted, it was essentially a glamorized mobile-based poor-millenial’s PhotoShop, allowing “filters” to be applied to square photographs before being shared with other users. Its interface was very unintuitive, and its focus on images instead of text posts left a lot to be desired by users that want to communicate on the platform …
Minds.com Report
MINDS.COM Minds.com functions similarly to Facebook, though it also serves as a blog publishing and discovery platform. The video feature is being improved, and there is gamification of engagement such that you earn points for your actions on the platform that help to grow it. Minds.com is very free-speech oriented and against the heavy-handed censorship …
DuckDuckGo Report
DUCKDUCKGO.COM DuckDuckGo.com is a search engine (alternative to Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc) that does not store any of your information and claims to present non-biased search results. Privacy is considered paramount. It is notable, however, that many of the DuckDuckGo search results seem about as PC-biased and cyberturfed as Google’s search results… Whether DuckDuckGo is …
Brave Browser Report
BRAVE BROWSER Brave is an internet browser similar to Chrome or Firefox, but with more privacy (not owned by Google like Chrome is, and not working with George Soros like Firefox’s parent company Mozilla is!). Brave also offers more features, including the ability to read TOR websites. TOR is expected to become increasingly important as …
Cyberturfing is Astroturfed Online Media Collusion
We are living in an age of widespread cyberturfing by media, internet search, marketing, and political entities. A large percentage of information search and curation is funneled through a few portals under the control of extremely politically-aligned groups. Google, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook are among the biggest platforms or channels for this abuse, but content …
Rebuilding The Internet: Decentralized Platforms, Decentralized Hosting, Combating Censorship, & Internet Bill of Rights
On Alt-Tech’s decentralized platforms, new methods for decentralized hosting, combating censorship, & an Internet Bill of Rights (as an alternative to increased regulations). Much of this is in reaction to the corruption, collusion, and complicity of silicon valley and big media/business… and other usual suspects.
YouTube Ads for Nasty PC Companies and Content Creators Opposing Advertisers
Allegedly, some major corporations are boycotting the YouTube Advertisement Platform because their ads are appearing before, or during, or next to video content with which they do not agree… This is more likely part of the general Corporate Collusion to destroy the decentralized media YouTube dominated for its first 12 years by independent content creators, …
