new blog post! “Losing the Archive: When a Platform Ceases”
Losing the Archive: When a Platform Ceases — jamie
The “Archive” As creators and users like me on TikTok await the fate of the platform in the US, I started thinking of social media platforms much like photo album archives that you would find in you...

There are a lot of bad takes on the potential TikTok ban.

Part of the issue with ad monetization on social media is that it incentivizes people to react to or summarize news content for the most reward instead of actually doing journalism, which is also disincentivized with legal threats

Made a TikTok vid last year about my thoughts on creator vs influencer. In just a short year, I feel like things have changed again. Influencers to me, read heavily like celebrities now. Esp once they rely less on income filtered via social media platforms
