Preamble
To ring in the new year, 2026, the first year of effectively complete autonomy as novaTopFlex, the first step of the year is to identify and examine personal interests in a public-facing manner. Therefore, the terms utilized do not intend to leak out personally identifiable information (PII), and when they do, there are only so many days in a calendar year and so many people have shared birthdays and other characteristics and definitions.
Introduction
The first post of this new year, 2026, shall be dedicated to the new friends and interests to serve the entirety of the calendar year, but especially these first two-hundred-twenty-three days:

Goals
For 2026, novaTopFlex aspires to become a better version of the novaTopFlex from 2025, known by many more people just within the beginning few months of the year. The most notable of novaTop goals are listed below:
- Reach 500 Subscribers on YouTube
- Reach 1,000 Subscribers on YouTube
- Receive Super Thanks
- Get Monetized
- Upload Source Code to GitHub, GitLab, etc. where appropriate
- Get Monetized on WordPress
- Update the novaTopFlex Business Goals
- Research New Interests
- Identify New Genres of Interest
- Meet New People at Festivals and Events (especially in Summer)
Risks
For each of the goals above are equal and opposite drawbacks, similar to the equal and opposite reactions associated with each action:
- Even after reaching a certain subscriber threshold, especially early on, there remains the risk that the threshold will not remain met due to such unforeseen circumstances as lost subscribers.
- On GitHub and GitLab, transparency continues to matter significantly. Unfortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) will likely be forced to utilize the code and novaTopFlex has had a history of refusing consent to artificial intelligence (AI) platforms.
- WordPress.com does not support monetization on unpaid or lower-tier paid plans. However, WordPress.org sites, including novaTopFlex.com, do.
- When meeting new people at festivals and events, always be warned about body language, eye contact, and other features. If there is lingering eye contact, especially with strangers in the area or otherwise in sight, numerous assumptions may occur, so always be warned when attempting to meet new people.
Organization
novaTopFlex aspires to categorize different pictures and videos taken with the cameras of different devices into specific clusters. If a still photo intends to correctly depict a historical event, feature, or pose, and novaTopFlex feels the historical meaning with the person(s) featured, then the picture shall be converted to grayscale. If not, then the picture shall remain in full color, as per the official policies of novaTopFlex.
For videos attempting to represent historical events, the grayscale rule does not necessarily apply, and all such videos shall remain in full color as much as reasonably possible. Unlike photos, videos may be more difficult to provide a similarly guaranteed sense.
