This Friday at 3pm ET, I’m hosting an AMA with @eugene in this channel! He’s an incisive student of tech, authoring classics like Status as a Service and Seeing like an Algorithm. Ask him about social networks, consumer product, and insights from his years as a product exec at Oculus, Hulu, and Flipboard!

do you think we are still in an era where people decide when/how they want to play, or one where it's embedded/recommended so well they don't even think about it?

I still have faith in people to have the agency to choose what and when to play. It may take a long time for the downside of playing life by other people's rules to sink in, but many people I know eventually opt out and are happier for it.
