From Mixtapes to TikTok: Why Time Feels So Different Now

Leave a reply

“Time is money.” We’ve all heard it, but in today’s world of endless scrolling, likes, and algorithms, it feels truer than ever. Social media has become a thief of hours, and the saddest part? Most of us don’t even notice it happening until the day is gone.

Back in the 80’s, time was spent differently. We weren’t chasing notifications—we were chasing songs on the radio, waiting to hit “record” on our cassette decks at just the right moment. We weren’t refreshing feeds—we were riding bikes, hanging at the mall, or making mixtapes for friends.

The 80’s weren’t perfect, but they gave us something we’ve lost today: space. Space to be bored, to imagine, to create, and to actually live in the moment instead of performing it for a screen. Today, every second feels monetized. Scrolls, clicks, swipes—it’s all designed to keep us busy but not fulfilled.

And that’s not an accident. In my books, I’ve written about how systems—whether political, economic, or digital—are built to control us. Books like Silent Chains: Breaking Free from Conformity and Injustice and The Hidden Empire: A Journey Through Millennia of Oligarchic Rule dig into how power has always found ways to steal our time, our attention, and our freedom. Social media is just the latest disguise.

Maybe that’s why we feel so burnt out. Because our hours have been turned into someone else’s profit.

So here’s the challenge: reclaim your time. Spend it like we did in the 80’s—on music, creativity, connection, and things that actually matter. Because once time is gone, no app can give it back.

💡 Attention Is the New Currency: Why Not All Money Is Good Money

Leave a reply

We’ve all heard the saying, “time is money.” But in the 21st century, there’s a new truth: attention is money. Every second of focus we give to a screen, product, or idea translates into revenue for someone. Tech companies, advertisers, politicians, and even influencers understand this—your gaze is their paycheck.

But here’s the catch: not all attention leads to good outcomes, and not all money made from attention is clean money. Some profits are built on manipulation, exploitation, or even the erosion of our mental and physical health. Understanding the attention economy is more than media literacy—it’s a survival skill.

The Historical Roots of Attention as Currency

Ancient Civilizations: The Power of Spectacle

  • In ancient Greece, public debates and plays were carefully staged to capture the audience’s attention. Whoever commanded the crowd often held influence in politics and society.
  • Roman gladiatorial games served as mass distractions—“bread and circuses”—designed to pacify citizens and keep them from questioning authority. Attention meant control.

The Medieval World: Religion and Authority

  • Cathedrals were built with towering spires and stained glass not only for devotion but also to capture awe. These visual spectacles pulled attention toward the Church, reinforcing spiritual and political power.

The Printing Press to Yellow Journalism

  • Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press (1450s) created a new market for attention—books, pamphlets, and newspapers.
  • By the late 1800s, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer popularized yellow journalism, using sensational headlines to boost sales. The principle? Grab attention first, worry about truth later.

The Broadcast Century

  • With the rise of radio and television, attention became measurable in ratings. The more eyeballs glued to the screen, the higher the advertising revenue. Commercial jingles, celebrity endorsements, and primetime slots were all methods to monopolize attention.

The Digital Age: Selling Focus by the Second

Today, we live in a world where algorithms have replaced gladiators. Instead of stadiums, we gather in digital arenas—TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Netflix—where our attention is sliced into data points and sold to advertisers.

  • Social Media Algorithms: Platforms are engineered to keep you scrolling. Infinite feeds, push notifications, and “likes” are psychological hooks.
  • Surveillance Capitalism: As Shoshana Zuboff explains in The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, companies don’t just sell ads—they harvest your behavior to predict and manipulate future choices.
  • The Rise of Influencers: Everyday people turn themselves into brands, trading authenticity for clicks. Some succeed ethically, others promote harmful products just to secure sponsorships.

The global attention economy is now worth trillions of dollars. Yet, while companies profit, individuals often pay with stress, distraction, and diminished well-being.

Why All Money Isn’t Good Money

Exploitation Through Fear and Shock

  • Media often prioritizes shocking, divisive, or fear-driven content because it guarantees clicks.
  • Fear sells fast—but it corrodes trust, inflames division, and feeds anxiety.

Addiction by Design

  • From casino slot machines to Instagram reels, the psychology of addiction is built into many platforms.
  • Dopamine hits from “likes” and notifications are no accident—they are monetized vulnerabilities.

Profit at the Expense of Health

  • Sugary drinks, processed foods, cigarettes, and even pharmaceuticals have been marketed aggressively—earning billions despite proven health risks.
  • The result? Corporations thrive, while individuals suffer long-term consequences.

Misinformation as a Business Model

  • Fake news, conspiracy-driven content, and clickbait websites often exist for one reason: to generate ad revenue.
  • Truth becomes secondary when profit depends on attention, not accuracy.

The Psychology of Attention

  • Scarcity Principle: Attention is limited. You can’t give it to everything, which is why it’s so valuable.
  • Cognitive Load: Our brains can only process so much. Overloading with information leads to decision fatigue.
  • Attention Hijacking: Marketers and platforms exploit psychological triggers—fear, novelty, outrage, and even cuteness—to redirect your focus where they want it.

How to Protect Your Attention (and Your Soul)

  1. Audit Your Consumption: Ask yourself—who profits from what I’m watching, reading, or buying?
  2. Digital Boundaries: Turn off non-essential notifications and schedule screen-free hours.
  3. Value-Based Attention: Invest your time in media, people, and causes aligned with your values.
  4. Mindful Spending: Question whether every financial opportunity or purchase aligns with integrity.

Remember: attention is power. Spend it wisely.

Takeaway

Attention has always been a form of power. What has changed is the scale and sophistication with which it’s being harvested. Money flows where attention goes—but when that money is made through manipulation, exploitation, or harm, it carries a heavy cost.

Not all money is good money. Protecting your attention is protecting your freedom.

Don’t Take the Bait: Protecting Your Peace in the Age of Online Outrage

Leave a reply

By A.L. Childers

In a world where your attention is currency, rage has become a profitable business.

You’ve seen it: the outrageous headlines, the offensive comments, the divisive content that seems designed to ruin your mood before you’ve had your morning coffee. It’s not an accident. It’s called rage bait—and it’s everywhere.

What Is Rage Baiting?

Rage baiting is a form of digital manipulation where creators post inflammatory, shocking, or controversial content to provoke anger and engagement. It thrives on emotional reactivity. The more you comment, share, or argue, the more the algorithm rewards the post.

According to MIT Technology Review, emotional responses—especially anger—are more likely to go viral than calm, rational content. A 2017 study from Yale University also found that social media users tend to mimic the outrage they see online, escalating hostility in digital spaces.

Rage baiting didn’t just happen; it was designed. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter (X), and TikTok rely on engagement metrics to sell ads and keep users scrolling. The more time you spend reacting, the more money they make.

How Rage Bait Works

Rage bait follows a predictable formula:

  • Step 1: Post something shocking, misleading, or controversial.
    Example: “You’re not a real parent if you don’t spank your kids.”
  • Step 2: Trigger people emotionally.
    Use topics like politics, religion, parenting, race, gender roles, or celebrity drama.
  • Step 3: Let the audience do the work.
    The more people argue, the more the post gets pushed to new feeds.

Rage baiters don’t always believe what they post. Often, it’s pure manipulation to gain clicks, followers, and revenue. They trade in your peace for their profit.

Why You Should Protect Your Spirit

Let’s be real: the devil is busy, and he doesn’t always show up with horns. Sometimes, he shows up in your feed—disguised as drama, division, and distraction.

If you’re constantly being pulled into online fights, your peace suffers. Your energy goes toward defending yourself instead of developing yourself. What begins as “just one comment” turns into hours of emotional exhaustion and spiritual depletion.

Protect your spirit like your life depends on it—because in many ways, it does.

How to Avoid Rage Baiting

Here are 7 powerful ways to guard your heart and your attention:

  1. Pause Before You React
    Ask yourself: Is this post designed to inform or to provoke?
  2. Limit Time on Trigger-heavy Platforms
    Apps like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok are built for outrage. Curate your feed or take breaks.
  3. Unfollow or Mute Accounts That Drain You
    Protect your peace by pruning your digital space.
  4. Report Obvious Rage Baiting
    Social media companies allow you to flag abusive or manipulative content.
  5. Respond with Grace—Or Not at All
    Not every comment deserves a reply. Sometimes silence is strength.
  6. Seek Out Uplifting Content
    Follow creators who nourish your mind, faith, and well-being.
  7. Set Boundaries with the Algorithm
    The more you engage with outrage, the more it shows up. Don’t feed the beast.

Final Thoughts

You were not created to live in constant combat with strangers on the internet. You were created for connection, purpose, and peace. Rage baiting may be loud, but peace is powerful. Don’t let evil hijack your energy.

Every day, you have a choice: react in rage or respond with wisdom.

Behind the Glam: The Lies Women Tell to Make Other Women Jealous

A Blog by A.L. Childers

The Illusion Is Over. Are You Ready for the Truth?

We live in a world where perfection is an illusion carefully crafted for the masses. Hollywood, social media, and influencer culture have turned the art of deception into an industry. Women aren’t just competing with each other anymore—they’re competing with illusions.

We scroll through feeds filled with flawless skin, luxurious vacations, perfectly posed relationships, and curated lives that make our own realities feel painfully ordinary. But what if I told you—none of it is real?

This blog is not about shaming women. It’s about freeing them.

The Illusion of Her Perfect Life

I’ve spent years watching women suffer under the weight of comparison. I’ve seen friendships turn into silent rivalries, self-esteem crushed under the pressure of unattainable beauty, and happiness sacrificed for the sake of validation.

The truth is, we’ve been sold a fantasy.

Hollywood has built an empire on women’s insecurities. Every airbrushed model, every red carpet event, every manipulated magazine cover—designed to make us feel less than so we will consume more. We buy the products, the diets, the facials, the injections—all to chase a version of beauty and success that doesn’t exist.

And social media? It’s the new Hollywood.

We stage photos, edit out imperfections, and pretend our relationships are flawless. We perform happiness instead of living it. We create envy rather than connection. Because in this world, attention is currency—and the best way to get it is to make others believe you have something they don’t.

Hollywood’s Role in Selling the Fantasy

This isn’t new. Hollywood has been profiting off women’s insecurities for decades.

✔ Celebrities sell the illusion of effortless beauty while secretly relying on plastic surgery, extreme diets, and Photoshop.
✔ The media crafts the image of “power couples”—until their divorces expose the truth behind the facade.
✔ Fashion brands market unattainable lifestyles, convincing women that a designer bag or trendy dress will somehow make them “one of them.”

And we eat it up.

Because if she can have it, maybe I can too.

But behind the cameras, behind the expensive filters, behind the glamorous lies, there’s something far more sinister happening.

The Cost of the Illusion

Women are destroying themselves to live up to a fantasy.

💔 Mental health issues are skyrocketing—anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia are now common struggles.
💔 Financial ruin—women are going into debt chasing a lifestyle they can’t afford, all to look like the influencers selling them the dream.
💔 Relationships suffer—because when we compete instead of connect, we lose sight of what truly matters.

And worst of all?

We keep feeding the machine.

We idolize celebrities who sell us lies. We follow influencers who profit from our insecurities. We let social media convince us we are not enough.

But we are.

Breaking Free from the Illusion

So, what do we do?

We stop chasing the fantasy.

✔ Unfollow accounts that make you feel inadequate.
✔ Recognize that the images you see online are curated, filtered, and often fake.
✔ Focus on your real life, not the one you think you should have.
✔ Redefine success, beauty, and happiness on your own terms.

The Illusion Is Over. Are You Ready for the Truth?

This blog is just the beginning. My upcoming book, The Illusion of Her Perfect Life, dives deep into the manipulation of Hollywood and social media, exposing the lies that keep women trapped. It’s not just a book—it’s a revolution.

Because the illusion was never real.

But you are.

From AOL Days to Modern Connections: Finding My Gen X Crew

Leave a reply

There’s a sound only true Gen Xers will ever truly understand: the screeching symphony of a dial-up modem connecting to the internet. It was 1993 when I first heard that magical noise, signaling a world of possibilities. Back then, I was known as Izzystillalive on AOL, exploring a new digital frontier through AOL chat rooms, message boards, and email chains. If you remember those days, maybe you were one of my buddies — and if so, I’d love to find you again.

AOL wasn’t just a tool; it was a lifestyle. Who can forget those free CDs we all collected like trophies, promising unlimited hours online? Signing in wasn’t just a click; it was an event. The words “You’ve Got Mail!” sparked joy like few things could. This was the golden age of early internet experiences, where the concept of America Online history was being written in real-time, and we were part of it.

For me, AOL became more than a pastime; it was a lifeline. Those late-night chats and digital connections sparked my passion for storytelling and eventually led to my career as a writer and blogger.

My Life, Then and Now

Fast forward to today: I’ve been married for 30 years and am a proud mother of three. The seeds planted during my AOL days grew into a flourishing writing career. I’ve authored numerous books and blogs, channeling the inspiration and connections I found in those early days of 90s internet culture.

Some of my fondest memories are of my “Married with Children” group in Climax, NC. We were 20 strong, sharing laughter, advice, and a sense of community that only AOL chat rooms could create. Some of those friends are still in my life, but others are lost to time — and this is my call to reconnect. If you’re reading this and remember those days, let’s find our way back to each other.

Nostalgia and Connection

AOL (America Online) was so much more than a platform; it was where we learned to “surf the web,” bonded over shared interests, and heard the iconic “You’ve Got Mail!” that became a cultural touchstone. It was a time when the internet felt like a vast, uncharted territory, and AOL was our compass.

The internet of the ‘90s wasn’t sleek or instant, but it was magical. It was a place where usernames became identities, and slow-loading pages gave us time to savor the connections we were building. AOL chat rooms weren’t just spaces; they were lifelines to people who understood us in ways the offline world sometimes didn’t.

Let’s Rebuild the Bridges

If you were part of my AOL journey, I’d love to reconnect. Whether you were in the “Married with Children” group or another corner of the AOL universe, reach out! I’m now on TikTok as @audreysnewaccount1 and share my journey at writewithAudrey. You’ll also find me writing under the name A.L. Childers. Let’s rediscover those bonds and bring back the magic of our dial-up days.

For my fellow Gen Xers and anyone who remembers the dawn of the internet, share your memories. What were your AOL screen names? What friendships did you make? Let’s celebrate the quirks and connections of our 90s internet culture.

AOL wasn’t just a phase. It was the start of something transformative. It shaped my path and taught me that connection, even through a screen, can be profoundly real. So, to my old buddies and anyone nostalgic for those days: let’s find each other again. The modem may be silent, but the memories live on. You know where to find me — @audreysnewaccount1, writewithAudrey, or as always, A.L. Childers.

The Hidden World of Bot Farms: A Former Operator’s Revelations

Leave a reply

In the shadows of the digital landscape, a hidden industry thrives, shaping public opinion and manipulating social media narratives. As a former tech employee who operated a bot farm in California between 2015 and 2018, I am compelled to unveil the truth about this clandestine world. Bot farms, predominantly operated overseas, have a rare presence in the United States. My story, therefore, is unique and crucial in understanding how these digital puppets work.

The Birth of Bots

A bot farm is essentially a sophisticated network of automated accounts, or “bots,” designed to simulate real human activity on social media platforms. These bots are not mere random code; they are meticulously crafted to appear as authentic users. Each bot has a unique personality, complete with a bio and a photo. Creating these fake personas is a meticulous process, demanding attention to detail to ensure they blend seamlessly into the digital crowd.

Crafting the Illusion

As an operator, my role was to breathe life into these digital entities. This involved generating content that aligns with the client’s agenda, whether it be promoting a product, a celebrity, or a political message. Content creation is a time-consuming task, requiring creativity and strategic thinking. Each post, comment, and interaction must be carefully curated to reinforce the desired narrative.

Programming these bots is an intricate process. They are designed to respond to specific triggers, tracking user activity and interactions. For instance, if you frequently like or comment on certain types of content, bots can identify and target you with similar messages. This creates a tailored experience that feels personal and convincing.

The Cost of Influence

Operating a bot farm is not a cheap endeavor. The software required to manage these networks is expensive, and the time invested in creating and maintaining the bots is substantial. High-profile clients, such as celebrities and social media influencers with millions of followers, often invest heavily in these services to bolster their online presence and influence public opinion.

The Power of Persuasion

The true power of bot farms lies in their ability to create a false sense of consensus. When you see a flood of content supporting a particular viewpoint, it’s easy to believe that it’s the dominant opinion. However, this is often a carefully constructed illusion, paid for by those with vested interests. Recognizing this manipulation is crucial for anyone navigating the digital world.

A Call to Awareness

The reason I’m breaking my silence now is that the influence of bot farms has grown to alarming levels. It’s no longer just about promoting products or celebrities; it’s about shaping public opinion on critical issues. When you encounter a deluge of content pushing a specific narrative, ask yourself, “Who is trying to buy my opinion on this topic?”

Conclusion

Bot farms represent a hidden machinery of influence, capable of swaying public opinion and creating artificial popularity. As someone who once operated within this world, I urge you to approach digital content with a critical eye. Understanding the mechanics behind bot farms can empower you to make more informed decisions in the digital age. Remember, not everything you see online is as it appears.
