Atheist vlogger Thunderf00t reports that Jordan Owen, Slade Villena, and Mykeru were "all suspended from twitter for no reason." Jordan Owen is the co-producer of the documentary The Sarkeesian Effect, a critique of the methods of controversial vlogger Anita Sarkeesian. Mykeru is the producer of The Block Bot and the Dumbification of the Beeb, a critique of the BBC Newsnight segment "Talking to the Twitter Trolls and those Who Study them". Slade Villena is a former writer for Gamasutra and the founder of indie game developer Rogue Star Games.
Thunderf00t himself was suspended from Twitter for two weeks in September for unclear reasons. At that time Twitter had also banned the account of "The Camera Lady", the researcher for a video series accusing award-winning developer Phil Fish and the Independent Games Festival of racketeering.

you need Twitter, You Tube, and Facebook for the marketing.
No, you don't. In fact spending time on that guarantees you will "make it small", because nobody that matters spends any time at the navel gazing trough of twitter. It gets far more people into career threatening trouble than it helps.
Oddly even junior high kids are starting to get this, even then the 20 somethings are still waiting for the tweet that will change their lives.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

The Wait But Why Article I suggested was interesting if you haven't read it. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated Wait But Why, but I am a regular reader.
What would you suggest for Wait But Why? As a person who wants to better target people for my own personal stuff, what do you suggest for me? (Note: The stuff I want to peddle is not associated with my Soylent News name "Common Joe".)

Well, from that article I gather Twitter in particular isn't relevant (YouTube wasn't even listed). Facebook, OTOH, provided a big part of the pie.

Well, I can, but I'm not constantly craving attention.
