This year I've decided to put Reaches section with detailed CyberEthical.Me statistics at the end of the article.
Participation & media presence
2022 was very generous for me. I'm happy that my industry presence is reaching such companies as ECC (one of the largest cyber security technical certification body).
Course: Hands-On JavaScript for Ethical Hacking
The whole first quarter I was spending on creating that course. I was reached out by ECC CodeRed to create a course for them - and I'm happy about it. Pity I don't have any feedback from participants..
Lecture: Improve Your Cybersecurity Skills
The company at which I'm working is having these Tech Talks where people can speak about something they are passionate about, or simply share some technical knowledge during an online session.
You can still watch it on YouTube!
Article in a paper magazine: HTB Cyber Santa CTF: Toy Workshop
I'm really proud of it. This is a Polish version of my write-up I have published here.
HTB: Cyber Apocalypse CTF 2022
HTB: Hack The Boo 2022 CTF
No certificates given for that one :(
Mega Sekurak Hacking Party CTF October 2022
12th place out of 100 participants! That one was the hardest CTF of 2022 (in my opinion).

Hashnode delivered the Advanced Analytics in February 2022, which I love. It gives more Google Analytics experience where you can find out more about your viewers' demographics.

This year I've decided to stop counting the Facebook reaches for two reasons: 1) there is too much clutter there to spend time curating posts there and 2) my content was not reaching to the targeted audience.
So, Instagram gained +611% followers since 2021 (was 70).

Mastodon
🔔 Followers: 39
Here comes the big gun of 2022. Due to Elon Musk's takeover action on Twitter, many people (not only the cybersec industry) moved or at least created accounts on Mastodon. Here is a great article explaining what that platform is:
Here are the statistics so far:
I really like the @infosec.exchange culture and overall experience there.

Nothing to say about 2022 - it was a disappointment for me in 2021, but I have an idea of how to make it more interesting for you. But that's for the second half year.

Established in April 2022 - I'm happy with its performance. It reaches my targeted audience and my posts are gaining some interest on the platform, so I'll be keep taking care of that site.
Discord
Again, I wish there was more activity there. Probably it will be if I would include some Discord gaming and giveaway bots - but I don't want to. I wish that to be some more professional space.
At least it is useful when I organize some events, so we can have a neat space to talk together.
