Recently at the Project Playbook table we had a discussion about what to do if you intentionally or unintentionally witness disturbing online content. Being exposed to gruesome content can have an affect on even the most critical thinking, aware, adult human being. It can be jarring to have to try to reconcile troubling material online. Project Playbook gives you ‘plays’ to help.
If you encounter material that upsets you online, your action plan is (found inside Playbook) to STOP (viewing the material), BLOCK (the offending website or person) AND TALK (to someone you trust) about what you saw online and how it made you feel when you come across obscene material.
Always remember: STOP, BLOCK, AND TALK.
Many social media sites also provide the option to ‘report’ the offending material. Hiding and reporting disturbing content is the best way to manage sensitive material online.
REPUTATION – WHAT IS IT?
“REPUTATION” IS THE BELIEFS OR OPINIONS THAT ARE GENERALLY HELD ABOUT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING.
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
THE 48 LAWS OF POWER EMPHASIZES IT BEST:
MUCH DEPENDS ON REPUTATION, GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE
It is almost near impossible to reverse damage to one’s reputation. General opinions and beliefs are almost irreparable when it comes to what other people think. The bonus of having a good online reputation translates to more potential revenues, better relationships and increased opportunities, including jobs.
Had Logan Paul followed Playbook Advice for positive and professional posts and managing online reputation – he would not be under scrutiny. He once faced extreme backlash for treating Japan’s “suicide forest” as content for his Youtube channel. Tarnishing his own moral character probably wasn’t worth the upload for Logan Paul.
Project Playbook teaches parents and kids to upload positive, happy, professional posts, never mean or critical.
Always remember: Online Reputation is so important and very difficult to fix once damaged.
From a successful perspective, Logan Paul did not need to upload a disturbing, controversial video to YouTube to be successful and happy. Luckily for Logan Paul, he spent years since the mis-step to re-build his character. Thanks to a rigorous boxing routine and launching a new show “Impaulsive” in 2018, he rebounded his success. An unrelenting quest for stardom coupled with thirst for attention could have caused irreparable damage to his brand.
