Opinion: Nobody should challenge the Queen of Twitch…

Imane “Pokimane” Anys is the one of the creators and streamers on the online streaming platform Twitch, which you should never challenge, question or even comment with a byline or a bulletin for that matter. Pokimane can get people permanently banned or use her gender-role as a victim. While she’s eating lunch while watching TV-Shows on stream.

Pokimane can go after sponsor and sponsorships, but she expects to get her bang for her bucks. She can sign deals and agreements through her management companies. That how things goes. Pokimane can turn against anyone, but she nobody can question her without getting into real trouble.

That’s why she’s the QUEEN of TWITCH. The almighty and powerful person on Twitch. Pokimane will go after Youtubers or Twitch people who makes clips or questions her a little bit. It doesn’t matter who it is, but you should never do that. If you do that… expect to be deemed as misogynist.

While she is a E-Girl who has an army of simps. She might not accept that, as she is getting tier-subs and getting donations from men who is freely giving her money. That is their free-will and if they want too. They can donate or pay her for her services, as a streamer and living on recruit difficulty. Pokimane knows this well and it’s not like she doesn’t enjoy perks of her work and lifestyle. People would have given up a lot of opportunities to get her wealth and influence, which she has…

Pokimane might feel violated, but she has turned online platforms against others. She has gone after sponsors. While she can violate the TOS and not get any real ramification. If things has gone bad… she has gone on vacation or been silent for a minute. Before the she returned like nothing happened.

Her army simps will be behind her no matter what. She is allowed to go after people and their livelihoods. Pokimane can do that, but other creators cannot question her. Not even drop “Ratio-L” or such. It doesn’t matter… because the Queen says so.

The throne is clear and it’s evident. She is an online personality who cannot be questioned or have any call-back. Her folks and team can pull strings… and clearly that is evident. People can enjoy Pokimane’s “transformative” content and ways, but people should be able to say their peace without losing their platform.

If it’s Gundam, Leafy or JiDion for that matter… and we know she goes after Ninja too. If not also going after Bowblax as well. There is no end, as she is vicious and targets people who questions her. Pokimane has also gone on a rampage with copyright strikes against YouTube creators in the past. While she can watch full TV-Content and YouTube videos to kill time on stream between video-games. Therefore, she is not the righteous person to do so…

She just strike against them, because they made content about her, which she didn’t deem fit or didn’t like. Since it just happened to be critical about her. If it was Keemstar or PewDiePie who made video’s about her. That’s why she went after them as well.

Pokimane can act differently and calmly, but it is all calculated. That’s why the ones who aims at her will be hurt. She will use her gender and stigma for her benefit. Pokimane is the Queen and people just have to live with it.

She sits on the throne and can get away with everything. While the detractors will be get punished. Peace.

Opinion: OnlyFans flaccid final act

There are certain pages and parts of the internet which is made for or has become a places “Not Safe For Work” (NSFW). OnlyFans has been known for this and has a reputation and delivers certain types of content. That has been done with content creators who is willing and selling it online. They have been using the subscription model paying fixed monthly fees and also one-time payments for behind the pay-wall content as well.

Therefore, today’s news isn’t surprising. The rumours of OnlyFans going away from pornographic, Sex-Work and Lewd content has been on the horizon. Especially, since the website and owners has been searching for investment and funding to run it. Because, having such vast amount of content and distribution online has to be expensive with storage and such.

OnlyFans is already getting percentages of the sales from each creator. That is clearly not enough. While there is certain top creators who is earning millions of dollars and others have made this into a livelihood. Where they pose, drop pictures and videos. There been leaks from the page and some are using this as a “risky” Instagram account and pocketing easy money.

Now, the owners and shareholders of OnlyFans are going away from what they are known for. They are initially saying they are shifting content and focus. When they from October will block sexual explicit content. That is really going away from the special subscription to certain IG Models and internet personalities. Even some music artists has made accounts and blown up too.

Therefore, OnlyFans and the way the services has been rendered has been on the explicit content. It hasn’t been made on selling knitting tricks or cooking lectures. No, this page haven’t been family friendly or even artistic. No, this page has been a porn page with a pay-subscriptions, which has become a talk of the town. It has gone viral and been discussed online. If you follow certain people on YouTube. You will see them rating OnlyFans pages and telling how they are posting content. Therefore, this will also be lost genre there as well.

Certainly, the easy money and struggles will hit several of accounts on OnlyFans. As they have been living off and having a pay-off from the website. There will also be a bunch of people wondering where to go and wonder if they can follow their star, internet personality or IG model elsewhere. Since this has been the go to place for this and easily accessible.

While we can wonder, why the OnlyFans does it now? And if they were bushwhacked into a lewd site? As it seemed like a Paetron, but turned into a “pay-to-play” and “members only” hub. Instead, some of the creators now have to seek safe-haven elsewhere. If it even exists or is this accessible for the ones selling it.

What is also striking is that the OnlyFans page is going against it’s biggest earners and what it has become into. The OnlyFans isn’t a Paetron. Neither is it a Ko-Fi or Rokfin. It is showing NSFW and porn, which is what all the people are coming there in the first place. They are coming their with their hands over fist. The customers are not coming there for Disney stories, but Playboy bunnies unwind and being naughty.

So, the OnlyFans blocking and stopping this content is going against the grain. They are taking away the reason why the people are subscribing there and using their money on the services there. For me… this is a move of self-destruction and destroying what they already have.

This is like Colgate stop selling toothpaste or Cadbury stop selling chocolate. Because, investors saying they need to rebrand them to something else. However, we know these brands for one thing and when you take that away. Than there isn’t anything else left of it.

This is destroying what was built. OnlyFans is making itself irrelevant and soon it can be remembered like MySpace or Google+. Peace.

Memo to self.

This is an important briefing. Not that it is a dire need or has any direct consequences. Nevertheless, for whatever reason in this world. Don’t let other people think for you. God gave you a mind, so please for the love of God. Use it.

There are enough people out there, which will explain and tell how you need to think or what you need to buy. But be yourself. Think out and pan out your own way. Reason yourself and think. Don’t just buy what other people are writing, what other people are saying. Be critical.

Don’t buy into everything I write. It is sometimes terribly wrong or have bad sources. Sometimes even I am more biased than any other brother on planet earth. So, please use your mind. Ask yourself, is this right? Is this thought justified? Are these conclusions any good? Are these sources viable?

I ask myself that all the time, I get tricked and write false. I admit that, because I have too. I am just a man and cannot always be right. Just ask my wife. She will tell you, that I am often wrong.

So please, I ask you. Only once. Always think for yourself. Check out more sources, ask more questions about the topic. Is this brother, right or wrong?

If you do that, your are taking one step in making the world a better place. Not just accepting the powers, the articles and the ones producing content. You are using your mind and thinking, what if this is wrong? What if this is right?

We need those questions. I ask them all the time. I am not just accepting things. That is why my opinion pieces are filled with questions to the ones in power. That is why my pieces and letters are filled with facts, but also just bothering to ask the executives and ministers what need to be said. Someone has to ask. It just happens to be me, but it could have been you instead. Peace.

Niger: Moden/FA-Lumana-Africa – Communique de Presse (23.06.2018)

In Niger, the FDS or the Army is planning to Monitor the Social Media!

If you have missed it, you might, the Republic of Niger isn’t the one that strikes the news. But during last week on the 13th April of 2018, Minister of Defence Djida Hamadou wrote a letter where he wanted to control the social media. This being Facebook, Twitter or Whatsapp, the Ministry of Defence didn’t know how to even to write Twitter, they called it Tweeter. Clearly, they are twats, who doesn’t understand freedom of speech. Not that the Republic of Niger is famous for that either.

Mahamadou Issoufou, the President who has been in-charge since 7th April 2011, now his comrades in other ministries want to directly control the actions online. The Ministry of Defence wants to use the Forces de Défense et de sécurité (FDS) to monitor and control the Social Media. That only means that the army can follow whatever the citizens does online. Something that doesn’t sound like a good idea, unless President Issoufou planning to cease the civil society and the spreading of information within the Republic.

The same government has voted in for the Conseil Supérieur de la Communication (CSC) would get a new mandate and a new organizational structure. Therefore, the government are really working to control and settle content online. This is yet another country, where they are taking the war against democracy online. They are afraid of people speaking and writing what they feel on the internet. We know that, because there isn’t anything positive happening with the Ministry of Defence and the Army monitoring the Social Media.

This isn’t a positive sign, its a sign of that the government are not opening up, but closing even more. That the military and militarism is more important, than ever. We know that the state has issues with freedom of expression, as of today, Ali Idrissa have been detained for 24 days now for his campaign against corruption and nepotism. Clearly, the Military want to silence this voices in the public sphere.

We know that the Republic has issues with this, as they sent the Military to the University of Niamey in the Capital also. Therefore, this regime cannot stomach people writing against them. Issoufou and his henchmen cannot manage critics. They want people to give praise and shower honors. Not question their actions and transparency. That cannot be good, since they want the Military to Monitor Social Media. Just think about how far of a breach of privacy and also freedom of speech that is. That the FDS should be allowed to monitor and follow the public online.

Issoufou, is this the state of mind your in? That soldiers and Generals are monitoring their own citizens and their actions online, what they say and think on the Social Media; Is that so dangerous for them to speak their mind? Why are you so afraid of the Social Media? Do you think it would inspire people to revolution topple your regime and your army? Is that why?

Why do you want to use the army to monitor the Social Media? It is insane, should the same army monitor the talk at the yard, the market and in the schools too? Are they monitoring all communications and taping all conversations on the telephones as well?

Because, I have doubt you care about freedom of speech, expressions of digital content, when you are working on having the army as a overlooker of the Social Media. Peace.

Opinion: It is a rare day, catching the Ministry of Ethics and Integrity in an Open Lie!

We know by now, that former Reverent Simon Lokodo, the Minister for Ethics and Integrity is struggling and his whole ministry is flawed. The basic needs and the promises made are undercut, if not existing; why do I say that? Well, his Pornographic Machine to detect browsing and what else of that content has now been scrapped, that is promise that haven’t been kept. They cannot afford this sort of machine and therefore, has to figure out new ways to moral superior to the citizens.

Why where you lying in August 2016, promising this fancy machine would be delivered in September 2016? It has now gone 2 years and still nothing but empty promises. Not that I want the Republic to have that sort of equipment, because if people want to see porn. Let them see porn, it is their minds and their bodies that is enthused, not the whole public. It is not as if they are having public viewing like cinemas with it. Unless, the Ministry is fearing for that sort of activity.

In August 2017, the same Ministry said the Machine was coming soon, but it never did. That was year in and still nothing materialized, except for more lies from the Ministry of Ethics. Such a Noble place to be lying.

However, now in April 2018, the Ministry is saying it will buy software to monitor it instead, so the privacy breach is still important, but they lying itself isn’t? Double standard much, aye?

Therefore, it is bad to watch porn, but sanctioned by the state to lie. How convenient right? That the reverent is paid to lie and is doing it with a steady pace, surely he is running a marathon on this lie. Both in 2016 and 2017, as he was knocking down on the Porn Addicts. Instead of tackling the problem head-on, he has succumbed to narrowing in on software. The hardware has to wait, because of technical difficulties.

It is beautiful to have caught the magnificent gentleman and minister of Ethics in lying. Especially, when he has been so involved in catching other people and making a lesson out of people reactions. How he has attacked Stella Nyanzi for her demonstrations of oppressive behaviour. Therefore, it is about time someone says it.

Instead of backtracking, just say you lied and ask for forgiveness, I am sure there as some Catholics who can take you in for a while, so you can repent and ask for your sins to cease. The Confessions would uplift your soul and cleans your ways for the bad habit you clearly have.

It doesn’t matter at this point if the Uganda Communication Commission (UCC) or the National Information Technology Authority (NITA), haven’t helped procure the machine, the software update to block pages is benign from the actual promises made. Therefore, time to repent from the lying ways. You cannot have a man preaching how sinful other people are and he is caught in lying. That is just bad and gives a sour taste in your mouth, doesn’t it?

Rev. Lokodo, please confess, it would be healthy for us and for you. That you would humbly ask the public for forgiveness and confess your sins. I don’t even ask for cash, for side-tracks or reasoning, just that you tell the truth. You are the head of Ethics in the Republic, we should expect you could have your tongue in check, if anyone in the Republic should, it should be you! Peace.

Opinion: Silencing people for profits; Thank you Social Media Corporations for your Self-Censorship!

thank-you-for-smoking

“Senator Finistirre is still fighting for his causes:

Interviewer: What do you say to the people who claim you are destroying cinema classics?

Senator Finistirre: mmm, no. All we’re doing is using digital technology to tastefully update movies of the past… by removing cigarette” (Thank You For Smoking, 2005)

Today the madness is clear, it is vindicated as the Youtube and their affiliates have censored and taken away advertisement monies from their channels and direct videos added on their page. If they are not up to standard fitting certain advertisement companies and their agents who pick videos fitting the standards of the companies that need to sell their products. Surely the chocolate industry doesn’t want to connect to the videos addressing the Syrian violence. As much as Political inspired videos who are steering a conversation is not something to connect H&M to. Still, the conversation made by certain by these videos broadens the perspective and also adds to genuine interest for otherwise intelligent debate.

If we just want water-downed sexed out headline whores of Donald Trump, than the Colgate and Nike can use the ratings to spike their sales, but that does not extend the democracy or the discussion we might need.

The reality today is that the giant corporations are really steering the conversation with their decisions. In the recent days and also earlier this year Facebook also showed their true colours. As they have actually taken away pictures of the Vietnam War Photo as the Aftenposten in Norway have written about the Iconic Photo. This been taken down because the little girl is naked on the photo and that is disturbing for the Internet Service and the Social Media.

Facebook have before also even deleted WikiLeaks Democratic Party E-Mail leaks post on their page. Just the same has happen on Twitter as the sensitive picture of the Vietnam War for them as well. The Mark Zuckerberg really suck; to be frank Suckingberg is the proper name for now. Zuckerburg and Facebook! Facebook owns Youtube who has been addressed already for their clearance and political motivated advertisement ban on the videos.  I am sure they have deleted pictures on Instagram as they own that to, because the Gram can’t handle certain political MEME’s.

That all of these Social Media and Video Provider are their own businesses; they are free to do as they please, but still worrying as they are common networks for sharing information in the modern world. It is a reason why some become members to Facebook just to get invited to certain parties and social events as they are not sent through slow-mail and not even E-Mail. With this common knowledge the internet providers and Social Media power of Facebook and Youtube, can either be investor and advertisement friendly or like they are becoming a Censorship haven for Political Correctness and not for conversation. Because if an Iconic Photo from the Vietnam War becomes an issue and if videos with cursing and discussing not so humble topics; than the Youtube and Facebook can become the innocent little cry-baby that will not change discourse, but trade their soul to Kelloggs.

zuckerberg-kenya

Is that what Zukerberg want to do to M-Pesa as well, so it can become PC and act as tool for technical monopoly and control the internet companies? We can question that because it is interesting that the photos of old have to shade because of nudity. That is similar to the quote I started this piece with. Thank You For Smoking is social political satire, but it is happing in front of our eyes as entertainment usually mirroring the reality. That is what is happening now and the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other media are doing it. They just don’t know it.

They are doubled edged swords who cut themselves in the tail while suiting their suitors just like dictators pays of their media houses and their loyal elites to cling to power. The same ways does Facebook, Youtube and Twitter to fit the programme of H&M, Nestle and Unilever. That proves the capacity of indulgent media who trades their justice for a buck. Trade of their own freedoms to fit the marginalized boards and owner of multi-national corporations instead of the world citizens; than we can do two things!

First, we can buckle under and cry havoc over the misfortune of the corporate misgivings, the Zukerberg’s who wants to friends with Corporate buddies instead of us, the people. Or we can stop using their social medias and create own. That if we want it free, just as the other portefolios of the past of information has gone from being government censorship into the public. With the public and commons decisions the Media Houses and Entertainment companies had for instance accept that the people we’re taping music on cassettes instead of buying Hank Williams at the Gas Stations for long car-trips to the coast. I am sure they felt the same with the VHS where we captured and taped the magnificent stories of Lassie and Walt Disney Corporations; even if the Disney Corporation felt insulted as they didn’t earn enough cents on the dollar on The Great Mouse Detective (1986).

With this in mind, the people can as number two still use it, but sanction the companies that are behind the insulting censorships, meaning the corporations who are dropping advertisements on Facebook, Youtube and elsewhere. Because if their hit for inability to give the people ability to converse and to share their thoughts. The censorship show the access of free speech and trust between corporations and people are dwindling.

vintage-life-magazine-1968-july-12-starving-children-biafra-war-mexico-diners-e8c4f00148368d82f763446ffe23dfc1

The Media Houses have already been compromised by less budgets and less adverts as the Internet and free content on places like Social Media are stealing funding. As the tabloid click-based fuelled non-questionable content are spreading like wildfire.  Instead of the pictures like the back-in-day photo of Vietnam War who actually once upon the time changed discourse. That should say something about Political Correctness, the Advertisement friendly environment of Social Media and disillusioned Zuckerberg’s who in quests of getting dollars have forgotten a key aspect of the people. The people share their opinions, their pictures. Not all make sense to add like pornography or nude children per say. The reality is that the Vietnam War pictures showed the cruelty and massive assault on the fellow human beings. Would the same corporation have trouble with starving kids of Biafra as they wasn’t nude, but we’re describing malnutrition and adverse civil-war in Nigeria in the 1960s? A piece of me saying that wouldn’t care, would you?

This will not stop here as the giant corporations and their partly ownership of the Social Media will not stop here. Not now and not in the near future as the Ads and paid sponsorship of the corporations owning the Social Media need the fuel of money from the giant multi-national corporations and their standards. They want to be on the right side of them; so they can be feed and earn their money. Still, that does not mean we got to accept this blatant disregard for the past and for the present. There are difference between child-porn and iconic pictures. Something the Facebook should have ability to do and be able to correct. If not then they are not serious shop and having hired the right personnel to look over the content added on the page. A wise-guy like Zuckerberg should have the capacity to see that, but he is excusing himself with poor words of non-sense. Time to man up and kiss the ring. If not, than he wouldn’t know what hit. The worst that would happen would be dozen of using suspending their use and spot using the Social Media and Corporations owned by Facebook. If we did they surely would know why the sanctions against the conversation… against the truth and against freedom of speech. Something that is worthy fights and we the commoners always have fought the battle to be able to speak without fear and with censorship from our master. Now it is just digitally and not directly on paper. Otherwise it is the same ways as in the past. The elite, the rich want us to be silenced and they want to earn on us without being questioned. We the people shouldn’t accept that. Peace.
