jack conte (creator of patreon) lamenting FYP algorithms and acting weirdly nostalgic about web 2.0??

feels like a middleman getting mad at a new middleman

yeah this just doesn’t hit at all imo

interesting study that people probably don’t want “anti-instagram” tho

he's been spreading stuff like this for a while, it feels like a way to put patreon back in the fold as a counter-culture alternative but it falls flat for me

yes extremely strange to sort of retcon web 2.0 as “better”

This is straight up wrong too.

Facebook news feed, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest (more I’m forgetting) introduced engagement based feeds way before TikTok.

lol yeah that’s weird. he left out that millions of creators found community from that fyp

counterpoint: this sailor is arguing for cozy corners

for organizing one’s usage of social tools around those who participate in earnest. for developing meaningful relationships with builders. for recognizing and celebrating humanity
