The Power of Sharing on Reddit


Are you sharing articles on this social site?

Above is one of my posts on Reddit. As you can see, it has over 35k views and 369 more upvotes than downvotes. It also has 53 shares.

This is in a subreddit community called Oregon. It has 168k members.

Not all of my posts to this subreddit do this well, but this shows the potential Reddit offers.

This link share is from a NewsBreak article and I have noticed traffic coming to the articles when I post here. I write mostly about local news in Oregon.

My experience at Reddit hasn’t always been so beneficial. For most of the nine years I’ve been there I gained no traction and my posts to subreddits were almost always removed for some reason.

I began to think Reddit was a puzzle I couldn’t figure out. Nevertheless, I kept trying and finally found some subreddits that work.

The key is to find a subreddit, read all the directions for posting, and then once find one that doesn’t remove your link, you now have a good place to share content on that specific topic.

I also share on a Medium subreddit:



It only has 1.1k members, yet I still got 50 views and 3 upvotes for this post.

Just thought I would share how powerful Reddit can be. No wonder, as it is ranked 14 in the world according to Alexa’s website rankings. Don’t give up if a subreddit removes your link, either try to figure out why or find another place to post.

The Online World is Not Reality

Reality is outside of the online world. This may seem like an obvious statement once it is said, yet most of our modern problems are being caused by people not understanding this truth, that the online world is not reality, that reality is outside of the online world. Just estimating the percentage of generations when it comes to online technology, I would say it goes something like this: Boomers: 70% reality 30% online X: 60% reality 40% online Millennials: 50% reality 50% online Z: 30% reality 70% online Alpha: 10% reality 90% online Beta: project this generation to be 99% online 1% reality Essentially, we are moving towards a time when almost all people will think the online world is reality, and those who know reality is outside of the online world will be very few and far between. Social engineering is guiding the mainstream culture and most subcultures, including the false religious systems, in order to create this outcome, where nearly everyone is deceived into thinking the onli...

What Happens to the Writer's Brain

Too many ideas and voices. It’s been around 40 days since I published an article, and I wanted to explain what happens in the writer’s brain. Essentially, I have too many ideas for articles to write and this causes my brain to meltdown and write nothing. While these ideas are flowing through the brain, life is happening; appliances need replacing, cars need repair, family trips, people passing away, bills getting lost in the mail, and other life happenings like work and chores. In between all of this, these ideas sometimes don’t find place to be expressed in the short time frame I have to share them. The exercise becomes too difficult, the writing takes a back seat to just relaxing and doing productive things around the homestead. Still, the writing brain is getting backed up with all of these ideas, and it begins to distrust they will ever see the light of day by being expressed and published. The hope of finding a fluid streamlined workflow for these ideas to be published diminishes ...

Is Writing on Medium and Vocal Worth It?

Honestly, the writing site, Medium, is my favorite from the user friendly and quality aspects with reading and writing. I like the concept, the pay structure, how it works in theory. Why then, am I not writing there anymore? Deleting my Medium writing account wasn’t an easy decision, and I’ve had some times of regret in losing what I considered the best compilation of my articles online, yet, overall, it was a good move for me. When it comes down to what matters, where we write makes a difference in our identity as a writer and person. Medium continued to show me that it had much different values than I did as a conservative Protestant Christian. That is the main reason I’m glad I’m not there anymore. Yes, it is a shame that I had to delete hundreds of articles, all chronologically published, representing my work in a professional and quality way on their excellent writing and publishing site. And, the yearly membership fee really wasn’t very much, around $60, and I probably made aroun...

Great Show to Watch in These End Times

What’s Up Prof? is a great show to follow in these end times. Walter Veith and Martin Smith have combined to bring us this very enlightening show now for 6 years. The episode above is the 251st episode and the show has over 44 million views in the 6 years it’s been online. Walter and Martin are Seventh Day Adventist, and their message is more on point than any other show online in my opinion. This denomination and what they believe is the closest to what the Bible is teaching, especially, the Adventists who don’t follow the mainstream SDA church, which has been compromised by the enemy in Rome, the Anti-Christ Papacy and his worker’s of iniquity. Walter Veith is the professor and Martin is the student, as they address the most poignant topics of the day. They are only interested in the truth and not getting views, which is why they have been shadow banned and censored to not have millions of subscribers and even hundreds of millions of views — the enemy doesn’t want their message to ge...
