Check out my new paper on the “social media economist”! Beyond the “finfluencer” trend, I explore how a new genre of knowledge influencers demonstrate new directions in studying financialization and tech-mediated learning. #FinTech#EdTech#FinancialLiteracy https://t.co/TJV7Ar6k6p

Out in @SocialMedia_Soc: This is a thinking piece from years of researching on the political economy of internet & platforms. I argue in this paper, we need to pay more attention to how these socio-legal institutions make use of space to consolidate power. https://t.co/ufBqhs3bLm

One of the hottest trends in Chinese consumer internet this year …

Revenue from short video dramas 短剧 — serialized stories of 1-2 minute episodes typically totaling 60-120 minutes, designed for vertical viewing on phones—has surpassed movie box office.

Operators compare them to “mini games” rather than traditional long-form media.

Creators attribute their addictiveness to the fact that they cram “2-3 movies’ worth of drama into one series” and the “3-7-21 rule,” where every 21 seconds must evoke a new emotion to maintain engagement. I forgot what the 3 & 7 stand for though 😂

@OlivierGodechot Well, it makes reading faster. But it still needs YOU to feed it with PDFs that YOU think relevant, authentic, and useful. And, YOU need to gauge whether the generated products are usable. Also, the machines will use up this kind of PDFs very soon.

@tyler_haupert Big congrats 🎉
