About.

Disconnecting from big corporations.

I've been building my channels across a wide number of platforms since 2013. Even before then I had a few channels where I would upload things I had made. There is something that has been constant since I started this journey. Big tech and big money. Every single platform has a huge value stake in work made by us.

Why ghost? What is ghost?

Ghost is a self hosted blogging platform that includes a lot of interesting features. More or less, ghost is can be used like patreon but with a blogging platform first. I have funding options here and I'm still working through how to provide paid content. It is the same struggle I've had on patreon. But the main benefit here is I can add features as I see fit. Without costing myself more. Patreon takes 20% if you use all their features. Ghost costs me 15$ per month in hosting. 25$ if I get another few dozen members or so. That is a drop in the bucket compared to what patreon would take. All I have to pay is taxes and stripe fees. That is a drop in the bucket compared to alternatives.

If this grows.

I'm trying to make this into a hub for all of my content. Its slow going and will continue to be slow. However its the only way I see people like myself being able to reliably stay self funded long term.
