Subprime social crisis is in full effect. That Fast Company report on bot farms isn’t anything most clued in folks already knew, but it should open eyes to people who still believe virality is organic on any of these platforms.

A lot of current leadership doesn’t understand the digital city vs. the analog city.
That’s why they’re losing and will continue to lose.
Most people are in complete denial.

I keep hearing stories about people who literally would kill for their employer that have been let go like the snap of one’s fingers this past week.
“Your health plan terminates at midnight.”

The subprime social crisis is now in full effect. The era of 2008-2024 is over but people who peaked in high school can’t give up. The disruptors have been disrupted. The next great online worlds will be deeper, more intimate less pick me boy/girlish popularity contests.
Good.
