I love art, always have, ever since I could remember. My earliest artistic influences were Rob Liefield, (creator of Deadpool) and Jim Lee, (90’s artist for the X-men) which explained my love for drawing leggy super model looking pinups with big boobs.
As a child, I was denied my right to a public education, and was sentenced to a deprogramming behavior modification school. We had a class project where we had to make sculptures from the movie Narnia. My sculpture was of the Snow Witch, and I was very proud of this sculpture. When I came to class the next day, I was pissed to find that one of the staff members in the program defaced my artwork. Her reasoning was that she was a feminist, and that boobs were offensive. So I called her a bitch, said “she wished she had titties like my sculpture,” and torpedoed a chair at her head.
Now mind you, before going to this school, I never used the B word or threw a chair, it was learned behavior from the program. We were gaslighted, filmed, and tortured. The school still exists today, it just changes it’s name and location.
The point to all this is that years later, I ended being CMO of a non-profit social media company, called worldie.com. We were trying to learn from Facebook’s mistakes, and come up with easy solutions in our TOS to prevent things like cyber bullying; hate groups, sexual exploitation, etc.
The issue of artist expression came up, and my first thought was Tumblr’s machine learning problem with flagging all my artworks that were flesh toned.
How the heck can we solve this I thought? What even defines sexuality in the 21st century?
The network originally was going to be all about free speech; anything goes, but looking back at all the hatred caused on sites like 4chan, and Reddit, not to mention all the revenge porn on Tumblr; we wanted to make it more PC.
However, what are we gonna do, erase history because there’s boobs showing on too many painting’s at the Detroit Institute of Arts lol? 😄
We couldn’t on one end say we support women’s rights and anti human trafficking laws, then on the other allow them to be pimped because they’re 18, and it’s their choice.
I was then reminded of what happened to my Narnia sculpture as a child, and how frustrating it was for being demonized as a pervert for appreciating the female body, which is natural. Really they were the perverts for sexualizing my art, I was 10 years old, I didn’t even touch myself yet.
The conclusion of this dilemma I think is to make non-decentralized social media giants such as Facebook, no longer transparent about their machine leaning tools. This way everyone can see what they really flag for. Problem solved. ✔
Pay attention, regardless if you #Love or hate her. #AmberHeard is right! This is the only way #HumanTrafficking will end. #EqualRights #HumanRights
A woman should be #Hired based by her #Credentials, not just her looks. 👀 #Women have more #Worth than just #SexAppeal. https://t.co/nPkTPiS8Xm— DANIEL BRUMMITT (@_d_a_n_i_e_l__b) July 30, 2020
Years ago, it was a pretty big accomplishment to have your books sold at brick and mortar stores such as Barnes & Noble, but like anything else (including BN), times change. Technology is constantly reshaping the way we buy, sell, and discover new consumer products.
Coming into the publishing industry during the social media revolution; I was a young arrogant hotshot, who happily disrupted the snobbish closed off industry by utilizing my knowledge of collective behavior, making myself appear bigger than I was.
Since having no working capital, POD companies such as Lulu were lifesavers for self-promoting.
Lulu was great; because for $20.00 you could have your book available for purchase on every major shopping channel, including Amazon, which at the time was a kick in the face to traditional publishers, and banks who required circulation for credibility.
Sadly, like every good thing, it has it’s end.
Now, I don’t know what’s really going on with Amazon and Lulu, but all I do know is that I’m not getting paid for known books sales… Which is highly illegal; but as of right now, there’s not much I can do, just have to wait in line to be part of a giant upcoming lawsuit.
Does that mean I’m gonna take my book down off the shelves? No, that’s a lot of work, why ruin already existing PR and SEO? What I am gonna do; and what I would encourage other authors to do also, is switch to MagCloud, make your new content exclusive for them only. MagCloud does not provide ISBN numbers, no detail on why that’s golden.
You’re new strategy should be “straight sales;” not relying on Amazon or Barnes & Noble for anything, forget they even exist, instead just hustle and sell your books!

Rage against the machine, “Join MagCloud” like me!
Fyi Magcloud is an Israeli based company, but what can you do, boycott the whole planet?? I’d rather take down Amazon, even if that means technically sponsoring a terrorist state to do so.
Yes, I’m a hypocrite. 😆

I know the Bible says turn the other cheek, and that the first Rome was historically overthrown because of this radical way of life called “Christianity” (to love one another.)
Jesus said “live by the sword die by the sword” as he healed the soldier’s ear who Peter cut off.
