Dad Logs - A Glimpse Into the Mind of a Broadcaster

Today I want to talk about bad decisions...I mean, making assumptions. Yesterday, amongst the massive increase in viewership on Mixer, I made some assumptions initially that I came to find out were all kinds of wrong. It's easy when you see others doing certain things, or in this case, other things happening to others, to make assumptions about how or why it's happening. So when I saw the massive boost in viewership on Mixer, I immediately assumed it had something to do with people using viewbots. However, as I did research and talked with others, it's become apparent that this was not the case. My encouragement, is to consider a few things when you make assumptions about others. Number one, assumptions reveal something about your character, so be careful about how you react / act on your assumptions. And number two, it's an opportunity to reflect inward and figure out why you're making those assumptions. Use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be a better person. God bless!
