Is my reach limited by the algorithms or Meta mods?

Probably, but my attitude to that is that I don't care. Ultimately, if one takes Zuckerberg at his word that he wants Meta to be the equivalent to the public square, then I'd rather be ranting in some corner rather than outside entirely. Plus people generally use Facebook (even if they wish that they didn't). That's a huge audience of potential converts. - I mean, if you've seen my results you'll know that a little can go a long way down under, and that's a big advantage compared to the US or UK. For me, my whole journey since 2018 has been about the local energy. In 2020, I caused a commotion with around 40,000 views for a Fresh Culture episode. That's slightly under 1% of the population. Hence the satirical party. 500 members -- I think that's possible. 👋🏻 - If I was on there to get an audience, that'd be stupid. My audience is already real, and Facebook is one of many avenues that I use to communicate to that audience. My real-life trans stunts are another avenue. Then there's YouTube and Bandcamp and all those things that are important these days. I'm perhaps unusual for a serious artist in promoting my pornography, but I love that art, and for me there's not much of a distinction. I feel like that's a trans thing: like, trans people are more into erotic art and literature than cis people. That's a stereotype, but I think that it might be based in truth. However, my answer is that there's not a lot of trans-positive relationships on TV or in movies, so porn is where one might go to see such things. Particularly if we're talking about hentai. Yes, I know what that word means: lots of Japanese kids in my high school form rooms. One could say that my Latin-Punk New Wave stuff was hentai, but honestly (as I like to harp on about) it's not like I depicted penetration literally. Metaphorically, yes, but not literally.

I'm saying people should do Just Like Yesterday, but I'm so over that phase. There's a lot of politics for me to do, plus my Reo. That's the phase that I'm beginning now.

I'm quite keen to write the Perfumed Garden opera, though; I'm a slow writer, so that'll probably take a few years.
