✨ Chapter Spotlight — Global South Creator Cultures

Today @mediaindustries.bsky.social and I highlight Chapter 2 by @ebirced.bsky.social. This chapter explores how Turkish creators sustain affective relationships with their audiences through monetisation.

✨ Chapter Spotlight — Global South Creator Cultures

Chapter 1 by Srikanth Nayaka centres on Telugu-speaking creators in rural Telangana, a state in Southern India. It shows how regional language creators struggle with algorithmic invisibility, infrastructural inequity, and limited market access.
