We are nostalgic about this era in part because it was the last time that subcultures were allowed to form in earnest before becoming commercialized. This was before everything was internet and before algorithms dislocated genres and scenes from specific decades / eras. A strong monoculture meant that indie really meant something back then. Maybe the last time a decade will ever “look” (for those there, “feel”) like a particular era. All of that has been scrambled by our feeds since.

Where you watching the Knicks games?

Here's a social POV I strongly believe in:

Social media algorithms > chronological feeds.

Instagram has hundreds of millions of Reels, photos, and carousels uploaded every single day! The amount of content uploaded to social media every single minute is absolutely overwhelming, and that's before you factor in the 10-20 years' worth of old content on each platform.

You abbbbsolutely need a social media algorithm to help sort all that content for. You need that algorithm to guess what content you'll actually want to see. You quite literally don't have enough time to see it all.

And frankly, the idea that chronological feeds are better is just... pretty silly. There are a few exceptions, mostly around live events (think the Oscar's, reality TV finales, NBA Playoffs), but 99% of the time, WHEN content is posted doesn't really matter.

And what's more: every modern social algorithm accounts for what's important in real-time. You bet I woke up this morning to a bunch of highlights of the Knicks' comeback on Instagram Reels & TikTok—the algorithms knew that was timely and to serve me that content. And in a day or two, they won't serve that to me anymore!

I see a lot of "why am I seeing 3 week old content on LinkedIn" comments, which... why do you care when it was posted? If I'm getting knowledge or entertainment from a social media post, who cares if it was posted 20 minutes ago or 20 days ago.

Let's be done with the chronological argument, yeah?

Did LinkedIn marketers cry and complain about this one too? About how it wasn’t fair to slow runners or people who couldn’t finish? Wouldn’t be surprised.

@jappleby I thought my app was stuck downloading a new update 😅

[Joe Mockingbird LLG LP 1 OUT NOW @xxxtactician1]

Been to hundreds of local shows as an adult but within a two year span tickets for Jimmy Eat World, same venue, same section within 2 years rose for me from $79 to fucking $226. This is a problem.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads.
