I say this because the type of media that i indulge in dives deep into topics like philosophy, psychology, history, and self improvement. But I am not saying this in a self righteous way, because most of the philosophy and history i search for has to do with cartoons and movies, especially dragon ball z. i find that youtube has been a platform for so many communities of people to critique, communicate, and collaborate, over shared interests no matter how specific.
Recently Instagram has also allowed me to network with so many artists and people of similar interests around the world and has opened my eyes to a world of possibilities and opportunities. It has given me direction and support in the art and media i create and share. However it isn't without its faults, with all the positives also comes the negative. Scammers and liars are not new to the internet and media but their techniques are. The amount of misinformation i see shared, reposted, and repeated is just one google search away from a fact check but the fake news epidemic has most of us infected and its hard to tell whats even real anymore.
In conclusion, i find my interests in media and what i search has allowed me to decipher what is good media and what is bad media. Although media is an amazing tool, it can be harmful to future generations and create unrealistic expectations. Therefore I will try to remain truthful and honest in my art and image so i do not contribute to the negativity of the media and inspire others to make this world a better one.
