So after getting crushed by the housing crash and the economic/stock market crash of 2008 I told my self "I won't get Fooled Again" I made a point to become more aware of the world around me and withdraw from the network and cable programming that I thought was supposed to warn me about such events. I didn't take a big loss because I didn't have much invested but I did lose my house and had to start things over. Taking personal responsibility for my ignorance was the first step in changing my economic future. The internet has really redefined the way people absorb information and have access to new ideas that are
not controlled by a handful of multi-national companies. Youtube has probably been the biggest source of information, although you have to be selective in what you believe in as there is quite a bit of garbage. Many people will think what I like is garbage or fringe, or conspiracy theory but we are all free to make our own judgements, I have an open mind and take in everything and make determinations on the info as I collect more evidence. Nowadays Youtube has really started to try and label any news sources that go against the mainstream media as "Fake News" unfortunately it's really hurting Youtube, it's subscribers and the channels. Free speech and uncensored ideas are really the core of our society in the U.S. We are lucky to now get an outlet such as Steemit in which we can exchange ideas on a wide variety of topics without feeling policed by a higher authority. More You- tubers and their subscribers are getting fed up with youtube and looking for alternatives and Steemit is really proving to be a great platform for bloggers to use. My views are pretty consistent with Libertarian and it has taken me many years to flesh out my
political and world views. I am listing youtube channels as well as people i search to see what they have to say. I don't always agree with all points of view but I do like to hear opinions of people that I think are intelligent, well read and independent thinkers.
