Everything Is Television

Thoughtful article. Everything in media is converging toward television’s logic: a continuous, algorithm-driven flow of short-form video, produced for passive consumption rather than engaged, discrete interaction.

The Last Days Of Social Media

Quality trumps virality! The future lies not in escaping social media entirely, but in rebuilding it around human connection rather than algorithmic exploitation. https://t.co/sHmzQRtpcV
