We discuss their decisive role in determining which issues of public interest gain salience and which news sources and interpretations are selected and amplified, and question the issues at stake. A few years in the making, but seems to be still quite relevant (for all the wrong reasons!).

Bravo to Silvia Keeling and @urbanz.bsky.social for their decisive work in carrying the ball over the line! We propose a comprehensive theoretical framework that captures how social media algorithms shape, facilitate, or obstruct public opinion formation as a process and as a product.

We suggest that the pandemic has newly put under question the (Western) conception of enjoying and deriving meaning from one’s work, based on the neoliberal ideal of self-realisation, and show how this online forum has been able to aggregate a set of conversations aiming at «resisting work». Enjoy!

We qualitatively analyse the top 100 posts (which obtained the most upvotes) that appeared on the reddit.com/r/antiwork subreddit between March 2021 and March 2022, and develop a thematic categorisation of those posts based on the interplay of personal experiences and cultural conceptions of work.
