It’s funny that the moment we all suddenly got really clear eyed about how capital & power wields trad media, most non boomers dropped Fox and MSNBC en masse… andddd we all shifted straight to algo-feeds and “content creators.” the legacy media issues are real, but new media is just as bad We are not closer to the truth reading our substacks, we just each have our optimized feeds. Everyone has their influencers, their “current thing”. Platforms surface or repress according to their interests. Reporters and influencers fight for attention, streamers scrapping it out in an ever escalating war for reactions Our perception is “alternative media,” but it’s just a new, enormous industry. Highly centralized, too. It feels different though, and we enjoy imaging ourselves as rational. The independent thinkers, blissfully unaware

alternate media is metamodern it's aware of the narrative and the biases AND it's comfortable with them i.e. i know hasan is a communist redact. and i listen to him exactly because of his bias. not for truth. not trying to deconstruct his bias. legacy media, a la, msnbc v. fox is postmodern aware of the narrative but preoccupied with deconstructing it and frustrated with it a la 50s media was modernist both producers and consumers looked it at as actual truth mordernism was left curve postmodernism is midcurve metamodernism is right curve

good mental model for all this ^ my post-commie mediastudies professors would love it I'm not trying to say one is bad, the other is good, more just that we should be wary of anything claiming to have replaced "bad old system that made false claims of objectivity" with "new good system that let's you get the real truth"
