HACKED!

Hello, again, readers! It's your most favorite or hated Unlisted&Twisted blogger, Olivia R. Petrus! Vocal.Media.com has been kind enough to offer me another chance to write for their platform online, as a Vocal+ Member FREE OF CHARGE... and under my own name! I've even been permitted to access, "PLEDGES". As a Vocal+ Member, you are entitled to SPECIAL, INSIDE privileges! You can earn more money from your reads, enter their challenges to win BIG MONEY, have access to things NON-MEMBERS DO NOT, and are told A LOT OF DIFFERENT, CONFUSING, and MISLEADING information regarding your earnings!

EITHER WAY, YOU PAY!

How do I know this? Well, I first signed up for a Vocal.Media.com account in the summer of 2021 - the last time I was unemployed. I don't remember how much it cost to sign up. I do know NOW, it costs about $3.38 to sign up for a normal account, and about $6.00 to upgrade to a Vocal+ Subscription! Regardless of whether or not you upgrade, you absolutely HAVE TO sign up for a STRIPE App Account, set up a WALLET on this platform, and pretty much PRAY people read your stuff! Maybe if you're LUCKY, you'll reach the INITIAL withdrawal amount from your STRIPE WALLET here on Vocal.Media.com! When I started, it was only $20.00. Then, after my FRIEND tipped me $20.00, and I could FINALLY withdraw some MUCH NEEDED funds... it CHANGED! T0 $35.00.

I want to note that I only earned approximately $0.65 cents in READS, based off their "CPM (cost per thousand) Basis" model. [www.vocal.media.com/resources]. That's just confusing ARSE language for this is how much money WE'LL TAKE FROM YOU FOR WRITING FOR US FOR FREE! HA HA!

THEN WHAT HAPPENED???

Other strange things happened while writing for this platform as well... basically, NONE of my "friends" felt like SUBSCRIBING to me. All of the sudden, I started receiving notifications in my inbox regarding an app called, "SHIPT" which I SUSPECT is working WITH The Stripe App! (I had NO IDEA what SHIPT was. It's a GROCERY DELIVERY APP!) I find it ODD that the more I wrote for this platform, the LESS I got! For all $0.65 cents I EARNED in READS - based off their CPU Model - in addition to this platform just offering me $2.00 to $5.oo dollar INCENTIVES here and there to... WRITE MORE... which I'm guessing was to SUPPORT whatever app they are promoting - be it Vocal.Media, Shipt, or Stripe, I basically accomplished NOTHING. I studied hard, entered challenges, wrote for my life, and ultimately, my FATHER'S bank account was hacked. My bank account was hacked. Every time I try to use this platform, I GET HACKED, MY DEBIT CARD GETS FROZEN, PEOPLE IN MY HOMETOWN DESPISE ME JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE... and I have to wait for... ANOTHER FREAKING DEBIT CARD TO ARRIVE IN THE MAIL!

SO WHAT?

If I only EARN $0.65 from READS off this platform, without ANYONE supporting me, besides the ONE friend that subscribed and tipped me, and the Vocal.Media Creator Team... I CANNOT realistically meet ANY of the ABOVE needs. Actually, writing for this platform has totally backfired on me. You can't buy SHEET from a Dollar Store or Dollar General these days, off $0.65 cents! So, you can't feed yourself, or your pets, or your family! You're NOT going to feel safe, secure, and free from danger, if you CAN'T MEET THOSE BASIC NEEDS (see bottom of pyramid above, I'm starting from the bottom and working my way up to demonstrate how this theory still holds today, to the degree that DESPERATION BEGETS DESPERATION...). They all require MONEY, which DOESN'T GROW ON TREES! And if YOUR BANK ACCOUNT KEEPS GETTING HACKED, YOU WON'T HAVE THAT MONEY, WILL YOU? Why? BECAUSE YOU WERE SITTING HERE TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF VOCAL.MEDIA AND USING THE SUPPOSEDLY SECURE STRIPE APP, EVEN THOUGH YOU COULD JUST AS EASILY RUN YOUR MOUTH ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or REDDIT FOR FREE!

WHAT ELSE HAPPENED?

Basically, people in my town then starting suspecting I was some sort of COP or VETERAN or SOMETHING, when all I've ever HAVE been was a CAREGIVER - A FORMER CNA and I guess, still CURRENT HHA. My reputation in this town has been RUINED - some say by my own hand. Other's... really don't care. Most, likely, they really, sincerely DO NOT care. I can't expect them to. So, no. I DON'T feel like I belong, am wanted or accepted, as we examine the third lowest tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs...

Moving up the pyramid to the 4th tier, NO, I DON'T FEEL ANY SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-WORTH, OR SELF-VALUE! That ended when I was about 14 years old, and was first drugged and raped, which no one wants to talk about, everyone says get over it, and yeah...

ON TO THE NEXT!

Ironically - or not - I feel my COGNITIVE NEEDS are fine. I'm ALERT, AWARE AND ORIENTED. I DO know things, I DO understand things, and I DO Explore... even if it ends in MY inevitable failure. One must remember that Maslow was an EARLY pioneer in the Psychological Field. So, his theory is likely not EASILY applicable today, however, still basically, true. You can Google or Wikipedia Maslow if you want to know what decade he's from. I'll give you a FREE hint - A LONG TIME AGO.

NEXT!

I've got NO NEED for ASTHETIC NEEDS. I am a CAREGIVER. Yes, I appreciate order, when it comes to my everyone else's health, safety, and wellbeing, but the LAST thing you see while providing care to SICK people, is beauty... that's irrelevant to me. If I'm clean, and presentable enough, that's good enough for me. Besides, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET MY NAILS OR HAIR DONE REGULARLY TO KEEP UP WITH, "NORMAL WOMEN". I guess I just SUCK AT EVERYTHING! Or, if I DO use my limited income to get my nails or hair done, to look presentable for a job interview, people in this town look DOWN on me. So, there's no winning there, Dr. Maslow. Sorry. (Not sorry.)

NEXT!!

As for SELF-ACTUALIZATION NEEDS, please explain to me HOW I will EVER reach my, "POTENTIAL" if... I can't even show a PICTURE on this platform? Sometimes I CAN, sometimes my computer says, basically, what EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS TOWN TELLS ME TO DO, which is essentially, "STOP. SHUT UP. ENOUGH!"

Fine then, Crown Point, IN., Vocal.Media, STRIPE, MS, Android, Google, HP, FB, IG, TWITTER, REDDIT, YAHOO, iOS... have it YOUR WAY. I sincerely DO NOT CARE if I EVER reach the top of that pyramid. I've been lied to, I've been hated, and I'M USED TO THAT.

Things Ain't Gonna Get Better...

[Insert Picture Here.] Oh wait, I can't. Thanks.
