How do digital media platforms (social media, youtube) help you in your day to day life? (self.Blind)
submitted by Boi_Bach
For work I'm creating a motion graphic on how digital media platforms such as Youtube, social media, websites and so on benefit blind people. As well as how do these platforms help promote services that benefit the blind, hard of hearing & deafblind communities.

Any information or input from you guys would be very much appreciated, cheers.

Snapchat lets me find out what people are doing. Also Youtube is great to see my favorite youtubers like the Snow Plow Show everyone should check them out its a prank call show.

My relationship with social media is complicated. I've tried Orkut, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ and it simply isn't for me, not because I'm blind (I wasn't blind when I tried those social platforms) but rather because I fail to understand the point of maintaining a social networking profile or getting to know what other people are doing. I can still communicate with friends over the phone, like I always did, , there's no need for more. I also have a YouTube account which I used to publish myself performing stunts in video-games back when I had sight.

Simply put they don't help me at all. They just waste my time. :D
Jokes asside. social media has helped me alot to get in contact with my friends, since it sometimes is hard for me to travel to them for a short visit. I use youtube to entertain myself, when I don't feel lika playing video-games. Unfortunately non of these to are good at advertising products for the blind. At least not in Finland and Sweden. At least I haven't gotten any good ads, and I know that both fb, and yt keeps track of the things i like, and watch.
This nonprofit website is run by volunteers.
Please contribute if you can. Thank you!
Our mission is to provide everyone with access to large-
scale community websites for the good of humanity.
Without ads, without tracking, without greed.
