Hi! I’m Annie. Artist, live streamer, NSFW content creator and model. And most recently individual data ownership and decentralized systems advocate.
I came here to participate in a new economy. To meet people who also see the path to freedom and to have a place to share my work without censorship.
I got deep into learning about individual data ownership and decentralized systems after my second periscope account was disabled at 20k followers, my main sales funnel to my subscription sites. I followed all the guidelines and rules, and my account was removed with no warning or explanation. I reached to to the help center everyday for weeks with no response other than your account has been permanently suspended. That account was the documentation of 130 consecutive days of live streaming my yoga, hooping and music practices. It was a huge accomplishment in my life and I have no access to that content. It was upsetting to say the least so I started researching other platforms and systems where I could participate and not have all my hard work removed because someone thought it inappropriate. I’m a free spirited person who is comfortable with my body and sexuality, but I know the rules on all the platforms I participate on and I wasn’t breaking any of them. But anyways... in just a few days time I went down the rabbit hole and learned how our data is profited from, and how we have been completely taken advantage of. I wasn’t surprised. Actually it made the shadiness of the rest of the systems make a lot more sense. And it made the need to participate on different platforms and in different systems more important. I’ve been keeping notes and documenting my learning on Medium and Twitter. I also read articles, listen to podcasts and share information on this subject on my live streams on Bigo.
I’m not sure in what way I’ll be participating on here yet. I wear many hats, so I will try out some different things on here and see where I fit in. I’ve never participated in a system like this before, so I’m always open for suggestions and information to make my interactions here the best they can be. I hope to contribute to this community in a positive way. And I’ll leave it there for now. Thank you for having me!
