why are social media platforms trying to be each other?

Instagram got rid of igtv and made reels which is way more like tiktok than igtv was.

Now tick tock is doing stories where you can upload videos or even still pictures for 24 hours.

YouTube is trying to be more like tick tock and twitter, and it's not even a social media platform. It's a video website. Just because it has a comment section doesn't make it social media. You can tell by the way the website/ app is designed it's not aimed towards commenting interaction. You can go your whole life without ever posting in the YouTube comment section whereas a social media platform comment section is integral to the program.

I will also say social media platforms are going after YouTube with the newly rolled out ability to cut off comments or limit who can reply to your social media post. You've always been able to do that on instagram. On tick tock, being able to turn off comments became a feature shortly after the app became very popular. Twitter initiated turning off comments and limiting who can reply a few months ago. On Twitter you still can't delete other people's comments on your posts, but on tiktok you can.

People are on different websites and apps for different reasons, so it's important for them to maintain their different identities so people don't have to deal with the components that did not serve them from other websites and applications.

YouTube remove the dislike counter but they're not trying to be like tick tock that hard because they still haven't brought back private messaging, but they went after Twitter was being able to post text and picture posts. And then they took that away, and then brought it back but only for people with a certain amount of subscribers.

I'm not leaving at the og. People are always coming at Snapchat sideways when they come after Instagram since Snapchat invented most of the instagram's functions. Instagram recently initiated a vanishing messages system. 

Even though Snapchat has some sponsored filters and some other commercial bs, it's easy to avoid. Snapchat remains the og. YouTube is old, but for as much as they sell out it sure ain't gangster.

healthy choice Cafe steamers grilled chicken marinara with parmesan

I'll skip the packaging review, because you already know that part from the two previous blog post. My opinion about that hasn't changed. This is also another regular purchase for me. the overall packaging of the meal is great quality, but the parmesan amount can vary. Be aware that they skimp on the parmesan. The chicken is tender, and the noodles and broccoli have a slight firmness. It's all Greek to Me. The sauce in this one is on the weak side, in my opinion but still flavorful. something I'm noticing so far with a lot of these microwave dinners is that they're not full dinners because they focus on quality over quantity, but the quantity is was lacking. It's also the same price as the others: $2.99, on sale. Normally, $3.99 or $4.99. it won't get you full, but it can hold you over for an hour or two. I would say it's worth two or three, but not four.

Scott and Jon's shrimp scampi pasta bowl!

I got the idea to do a blog post after I ate it, so I must apologize that there won't be a picture of the unboxed food. But there is a video review, if you want to see the food outside of the box and cooked! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyLf1pVOc54 This is my first time doing this, and I have a lot to learn! I decided to do microwave dinner reviews, because the quality of microwave dinners has highly increased, and it deserves recognition. Microwave dinners are way more accessible, and healthier then they were before, and the quality has gone up extremely within the past five years. with microwave dinners becoming more accessible and healthier, they're also in better packaging. a lot of the packaging is recyclable, and some of them are even compostable! And as you can tell by the packaging, they are considering people counting calories, how much protein people are taking in, and other things, depending on what they're trying to se...

Judge Sean Holden in Blood Meridian and folklore

Let's talk about Judge Sean Holden, only for the sake of his resurgence and popularity and how blood meridian is becoming retrospectively overrated. Also going to be talking about traditional era ritualistic murders. Also going to talk about folklore, in general, with Mac and Candyman as examples. SUPER LONG POST! BUCKLE UP! People are having such a hard time coping with the present they got to reach back to shit like blood meridian, which is a huge commentary in it of itself.  Judge Holden is actually something of a person or a folklore that exists in a few stories. I don't know about any of those other depictions, but I will say blood meridian wasn't good for him or anyone.  So, if the folklore thing is true that means that Holden's character was developed in a time where it was socially acceptable to demonize albino people. It doesn't take looking that far back to see the demonization of albino people in a lot of literature. It was a thing they did on the regular...
