Hello, dear Read's friend!
I haven't written for a while, so I guess in a way it has affected my account, the sponsors are gone. But I have increased in followers. Last time I logged in I had about 70, and now it's 82.
The reason it's gone is the internet.
I don't have internet at home. I use a Wi-Fi network that belongs to my neighbor. So I pay the monthly fee in exchange for using it. The internet service is from the national company called CANTV, which works well in some places, but not in my sector. So the Internet connection is slow, it drops, and it takes me a long time to do any activity.
Before the Internet went out, I wrote something on Twitter, expressing the malfunctioning of the Internet company. After that, it went away, and has not returned. At that time I thought that maybe they had cut off my Internet because of it. Besides the fact that in my country you are not supposed to say negative things in the media or social networks about the government. Or you get trashed.
For some strange reason, some people support the current president's regime, and his administration. So they are the people who insult you if you speak bad about it. They can also censor your account. Or make you the subject of mockery in some government TV show like "Zurda Konducta" or "Con el mazo dando".
I dare to say this because it recently happened with a girl who gave her opinion about the suspicious death of a criminal that plagued the country. She mentioned that he was not dead, because they had not shown his body, as well as other aspects that are really curious.
The girl has a considerable amount of followers in social networks, so she appeared in one of the programs I mention. Where they show that it was much more suspicious the death of the offender. They neither affirm nor deny his death. They only make fun of the girl, making reference to her haircut.
This is a national program, a program directly run by the government. Why do something like that? Why give messages of hate and fuel bad behavior in society?
This was totally unnecessary. And disappointing. If something like this happened on any other TV channel they would possibly shut it down. But it was a government program, so, nothing happened.
On the other hand, back to the subject of the internet and me. The reason I don't have internet is because my neighbor has not been able to pay for the service, due to an increase. Apart from that, she has the money to pay in one of the banks also owned by the government. Her account is blocked. And entering that bank, making transactions, or anything else is torture. I am talking about "Banco Bicentenario". Every Venezuelan citizen knows it.
So in short, I don't have internet at home, and I don't know when I will have it.
I feel frustrated, because I have to study for university, work, and I do everything through the Internet.
So I thought about hiring a private Internet company, with its wonderful fiber optics. But, I still don't have the money for it. So, I have to do some juggling to be able to get the money for the installation, and the first monthly payment. I don't know how long it will take me. But, it's something I have to do.
The only disadvantage of a private service is the cost. It is higher than the public company. But the service is better, it's supported, and it's more secure.
In the meantime, I will be doing my best to connect to other Wi-Fi networks. Maybe it will not be often because it is a bit uncomfortable to carry the pc everywhere, and in my country we are in rainy seasons. So it is not convenient to go out with the pc.
To my sponsors: Please don't go away, I am here.
And to my readers: I love you, don't go away either.
I'm writing this post because I want to vent a little. Also because in part it's Read Cash is my personal blog, and this is one of the themes I chose for it.

Many thanks to my sponsors for their valuable support! ❤️
Five of my sponsors are gone too. I've not been active too because of school work.
The government doesn't want anyone to speak evil about them. Even though we have freedom of speech, we should be careful of what we say.
