Whatever floats your boat...
Two Years Vloggin'- Here's Why
TOP TEN REASONS I STILL VLOG:
10. It's a worthwhile hobby (creative, expressive, thought-provoking, a vehicle for putting your thoughts together, etc.)
9. People go, but new people come (if you extend yourself, you widen that circle of positive people and the assholes increasingly become irrelevant)
8. It broadens your paradigm (if you open yourself up to new perspectives- not just stick with your own)
7. It creates an ongoing record of who you were- encapsulates moments and feelings (that's something we'll only come to appreciate in the future at some point)
6. It teaches us about who we are in relation to others- messes with our ego, forces us to question who we thought we were...
5. It has a reciprocal nature of offline self-concept influencing online self-concept, and vice versa- (very intriguing if you're aware of it)
4. It's a microcosm of the big world, how systems and cultures operate...That's also fascinating if you notice it, and if you do, everyone and everything is old and new again (even the assholes become predictable within that context)
3. It's part of the democratization of many industries (entertainment, citizen action, publishing, education)- and I love being a part of the cutting edge of it.
2. It's got its risk, but so does everything else in life. No growth without risk.
1. And finally....IT'S STILL FRIGGIN' FUN!!!!!!

I agree with you both. I also like to watch myself age and target botox injection sites .

Just wondering, how does Ning make money? Could they ever disappear the way we fear LV might?

They charge all kinds of fees for all kinds of reasons. It cost me a bit to take the ads off here, it'll cost me more when we max out beyond a certain point in terms of the amount of content here at the ARK. Then there's ad revenue on top of that.
