I am still learning about this platform, but it seems very interesting. I go by Zak (short for my username zakanozz) online. I am a husband and father of 4 children. For a time, I was making videos on YouTube of Minecraft (currently titled "Minecraft: Pocket Edition"). I have an online community of friends I play with on a Discord chat group. Here are some of the cool things I have built on our survival realms.
Outside of Minecraft, I do have a blog that I update from time to time about things going on in my life. Right now, it is mostly about my walk in my faith of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Neither of these platforms were ever about money (no ads on either YT or the blog).
I heard about steemit through @mericanhomestead and one of his YT videos. After doing some research on it, I thought this is a very interesting platform and one that I see working well in general. YT has become very commercialized and anyone that is trying to make content for other people get drowned out by all the paid programming. My feed for the longest time has been just channels that I normally watch and things related to it. I now see Jimmy Kimmel, SNL and several other videos from TV shows instead of the content I would normally watch.
My aim online is to create family friendly content as I can for those interested to enjoy. If anything, it will be something for my kids to look at. They have already made creating videos a soft-spot for me as they have watched my videos and ask to watch any I do make. I have found them creating videos of their own as well. It is really pulls at the heart strings when you find your kids mimicking things that you do.
Thanks for reading,
