I honestly feel remarkably alive amid the demise of so many social-media & clickbait ventures. I never felt comfortable in this milieu; I always hated the neoliberal push for folks to commodify themselves & prioritize hot takes over substantive discourse.
Have we outlasted that nonsense? Is there room for us to contribute meaningfully to a better media climate going forward?
Gosh I hope so!
