Social media platforms are funny things. You develope relationships with the communities - they all have their own flavour.
Over time, the platforms change. The algorithm changes. The owners change. What restricts your account and viewership changes.
Its almost like having a friend with dementia. You just don't know how you will be treated day to day or if they even remember you.
Facebook was always at the back of the queue in terms of "importance". I started you Youtube, that went nowhere, moved to Tiktok which was my focus for 1.5 years. Then i started posting to Instagram (which automatically uploads to Facebook).
I wasn't completely aware that I had a page until I saw that there were over 100,000 people on the page.
Largely, it still sits at the back of my mind.
But, at the moment, there is a lot more interaction and a sense of community here than on the other platforms.
So I just wanted to say thanks for being a part of the tour and for all your support and interest over the years.
Regardless of platforms and demographics, I'm always grateful for people who share fascination for the world we live in.
For those of you interested in a deeper immersion of "sids.ventures" I'm launching my (longform) YouTube content properly in a couple of weeks and I'm about to release my third podcast at "sids.campfire" (currently on Spotify).
There's also 15% off the outback tours in August (men's tour) and September (open tour) for the next 2 days. If you want the "proper" experience, that's the key.
Thanks again folks. Great to have you all on board. ππ»
