So because 9GAG was getting such good reactions I decided to go to another similar website and see how it will go there. I decided to make an account at Imgur and it didn't even last 24 hours.


My account below.

First of all, I couldn't even get a name close to my Slut maker bible so I used my own. As you can see the post had 98 views which is great considering I posted this less than 5 hours ago. I got 3 votes that like it and 4 that dislike it. Which under my name you can see overall I received -5 points!!!


I then decided to post something more open and provoking and not even 10 minutes after that I received an email that apparently I have violated the terms and conditions?! - and they had taken the post down. Before that happen though I saw I had a private messaged send to me and as I was about to click on it, it was deleted, however it started like this -

"WTF.. "

After this I though okay, clearly they are onto me now so I'll post again but something more acceptable. Once again .... another warning message.


After all of this I waited a couple of hours for things to cool down and chill out. I decided to post another post which was not that provocative and open. I then got this on my screen...

It's so interesting to see how in two different yet similar online platforms you can receive such a different reactions. It shows that you shouldn't just post out there about your work wherever you like, you should be thoughtful and consider where it can fit enough to get provoked yet liked. It;s important to show the two sides because this is when you know and can see when it's provoked - how much exactly it is provoked and why. For example, I am currently not getting much on Instagram because I don't think it's the right account. Different people enjoy different platforms.
