Just a Thought
Ivanil Marcelino
I understand that our group is mostly made up of more experienced people — many of us are already past 50, myself included — and perhaps not everyone fully realizes the transformative power that social media can have when used positively. It’s not just about entertainment; these platforms are powerful tools for sharing knowledge, preserving memories, and giving visibility to meaningful initiatives that truly make a difference.
Recently, more than 80 people viewed my work, yet only 12 clicked “like,” and no one left a comment. It might seem like a small thing, but these gestures — a simple like, a kind comment, a quick share — actually make a huge difference. Each interaction helps the algorithm recognize the content as relevant, expanding its reach and helping the Harbour and its fragments find their way to more people around the world.
There’s no financial motivation behind this. To monetize a channel, you’d need over 4,000 hours of watch time and at least 1,000 subscribers — something far from my intention. My true goal is to give more visibility to a project I believe has real value: one that preserves stories, ideas, and insights that shouldn’t be lost over time.
It’s a bit disheartening to see how often shallow or meaningless content attracts thousands of likes, while work that carries genuine substance and reflection goes largely unnoticed. But I still believe that, with your support — through simple, heartfelt gestures — we can prove that there’s still space for what’s authentic, constructive, and inspiring.
My sincere thanks to everyone who watches, follows, and takes an interest. And a small request: if something I share resonates with you, please show it. A like, a comment, or a share may seem insignificant, but in the right context, it can help meaningful work reach far beyond what we imagine.

Hello Hans;
I was actually talking about the videos I post on YouTube. It’s a pretty exhausting job — it takes hours and hours just to record and edit a 20-minute video.
What’s a bit discouraging is that many people watch, but hardly anyone clicks the “Like” button. Come on, it doesn’t hurt! 😄
Like, comment, share — even hit “Dislike” if you have to — just interact!
That’s what helps the world discover Harbour and see how many amazing things can be done with it!
