Ah, I like this.

It's quite difficult to follow all the written content here at times, so video content is a nice benefit; not only it provides a break from the format, it also: signals to me which articles are interesting, gives me the chance to read the original article in case I missed it and it helps grasp a little bit better the mannerisms that y'all describe in your articles.

(I will note, though, that for detailed explanations and immersing myself into the writer's mind, I much prefer written text. But yes, for more hands-on, less complex/quicker subjects, video is great.)

One small suggestion I'd make is: try posting them to YouTube – it's easier to consume video there and you can chop the video to reach the Instagram audience too.

Biggie,

Great idea! I can do the full video on the Tubes then splice it up for Instagram. Yar. Stack them platforms.

Btw, are you following us? I think GC is a lot more acceptable than we originally thought. We have tons of female followers lol and women who I talk to about this really don't get as suspicious as I thought. But if you really worried, make an anonymous account!

I'm not, but only because I don't have Instagram. My suggestion for YouTube wasn't even because I'm there (I unsubbed from 200+ channels earlier this year and never really "just browse" anymore), it was just because it makes sense to the business really. But I'm always checking the page – my sometimes wicked sense of humor would not forgive me for not reading an analysis as thorough and precise as "I might soon be gargling on your barbarian semen" lol

Haha, well, what can I say, sometimes I check pages for women where they secretly take pics of sexy men on the street to get some style inspiration ;)

Bu yeah, I think Instagram adds a playfulness to the matter that makes it more acceptable (in particular the texting account) and considering that most of the time, your friends would only be exposed to a (generally humorous) snippet of the content.

That said, I personally err on the safe side and always assumed a degree of annonymity when visiting here as to not unnecessarily be "that guy" to people close to me and to protect my privacy from potential employers, eventual business partners, etc; and also when posting here to also protect the identity of those cited in anecdotes or reports.

PS: check your inbox, need to sort logistics
