Last week I read The Sirens' Call from @chrislhayes.bsky.social. It made me think about the relationships between social media platforms, attention, and choice, and how much of our lives we unconsciously surrender to algorithms.

Why does Taylor Lorenz constantly find herself in the center of online drama?
It's because she can't separate her job as a journalist with her desire to be an influencer.
When Facebook started, Zuckerberg talked about how his goal was to build human connections. Now Meta optimizes their apps to maximize the amount of time you spend scrolling Reels, alone.
Is there anything still social about social media?

It's been funny to watch the Coldplay CEO scandal develop, but the punishment - the sheer scale of being ritually humiliated by the entire internet - doesn't fit the crime.

There seem to be two camps in the GOP right now - those who are embarrassed by what’s in the big Republican bill (but voted for it anyways), and those who just want to make gleeful hype video about alligators eating immigrants.

Why is every social media site more and more dominated by shortform vertical video?
And what does any of that have to do with crabs?

The Internet was a different places in the mid 2000s - more anarchic and chaotic, less dominated by platforms, and generally weirder and freer. What was virality like in the age before capital-C Content dominated the web?

I wrote a post about an issue I’ve been thinking over for a while: How does Russian propaganda work? Not the propaganda they aim at the West, but what they aim at their own citizens. How is Russia creating a new cohort of fascists in their youngest generations?

The revelation this week of secretive right wing group chats filled with billionaires & media moguls is the culmination of a long running trend: important conversations are moving away from global social media platforms and into private or semi-private spaces.

Older books are selling, newer ones aren’t. Old Music is all the rage, newer artists can barely get played. Older video games and old movie franchises suck up all the attention.
Old art is strangling new art

AI slop has been a problem on Facebook for years, but it’s starting to become a much bigger problem on YouTube as well.
