I was hoping to keep working on the news for a few more weeks and produce some kind of grand finale, but I’ve decided I’m too burned out and really don’t care much for grand finales anyway.
So, I’m officially quitting the daily news. Right now. This is now the Irregular Stormer.
The Sunday article might not have been clear, but I think the Monday one clarified things.
But I feel the need to do so once more.
To summarize, everything about doing the news every day has become bad:
- It doesn’t have any real ability to reach beyond the current audience, because of censorship making discovery effectively impossible
- It uses up all the energy I could be spending on other things
- It’s not making any money
- The site has become a content farm for people who steal my ideas, totally sanitize them (and make millions of dollars)
The key is the censorship. The whole design of the site was based on plans I made before I became the most censored person in human history.
The one time Google wasn’t censoring me for a few hours, I went to the very top box of Google News with a bullshit throwaway news blip with a couple mid-tier jokes. The audience for my ideas is massive, but when social media sites ban links to the site, and it is impossible for anything to ever come up on a search engine (even if you type “daily stormer,” you can’t find the site before the third page of Google, so nothing is ever going to come up on a keyword), there is just not really anywhere to go.
What I want to clarify is that I am not giving up and “letting them win” by responding to the censorship. In the current situation, they are winning. Yes, the site gets a lot of traffic, but very little of it is new people being exposed to the material. I’ve been locked in a ghetto, where I can keep shouting into a void (I know you people aren’t a void, but you understand my meaning). I think it was stubbornness that kept me from reaching this conclusion years ago. There are things I could be doing that would reach more people, or at least different people.
And, of course, as a part of the censorship, I was banned from all banking, globally, for the rest of my life. And money does matter, and I do need to focus on that more, which means doing a completely different job, because so few people will bother to use crypto. The stuff that I’ve been doing for money is more fun than doing the news, actually. Some of it I can reveal at some point in the future, and everyone will be very amused.
The only possible reasons for continuing become very convoluted: for example, I’ve giving people takes on the news which they spread with their friends and family and that spreads the message. This is a stretch. Or I’m influencing influencers. But they aren’t saying what I’m saying in the way I’m saying it, or they’d be banned like I am (unless they’re mixing it with some poison pills and fed affiliations).
I’m going to keep the site alive. I’m going to do weekly memes, and write essays a couple times per week, or at least once a week. I might do a podcast and/or see if Rumble will let me do streams (they’re the only site that hasn’t banned anyone yet, but I’ve never tried it out).
People have nagged me about doing a podcast, doing longer articles, writing books, and so on, and I think people do not understand the amount of time it takes to read all this news, then think about it, then write about it. Then working a totally separate series of jobs for money. It’s not reasonable to expect more out of me than this. So I think people are going to end up with much better content, just less of it.
I have all these notes for novels, but it takes so much time, and it takes a focus of energies. The same is true for nonfiction books. After doing everything I do right now, and have been doing for well over a decade, there isn’t time for things that would not only be better, and more personally engaging, but that would potentially reach a much broader audience or at least a different audience. I can write very well, if given the time, and people passing around electronic copies of my books, outlining my materials in a structured format, will create a different audience than one that takes the time to come to the site every day to get deep into the esoterica of it all.
I’ll be around. I post on this forum sometimes (it also has a lot of news). I’m going to get to all of your messages and emails soon as well. There are a lot and I haven’t really gotten to many of them. And anyway, I’ll be back on Monday with memes.
Obviously, I do not have the ability to stop writing. I’m not going to get “writer’s block,” whatever that is. As some dead asshole once said, I have a manic need to see words running across the page.
Don’t worry.
Right now, I’m trying to relax.
I would advise you all to do the same.
