Not directly internet related but very much culture (which these days is largely shaped digitally so I figured it still fits). I also think norms would be a powerful thing to shape the internet - but then again, we're up against the big behemoths who like to max-extract attention. https://culture.ghost.io/the-age-of-the-double-sell-out/

"Now the culture is most exemplified by people whose entire end goal appears to be empty profiteering."

That's how I feel. I don't want to self promote, it feels cringe and opposed to my idea that everyone is worthy why should we need to prove it to an algorithm? 😂 Great article, it reminds me that this need for an existing audience to even have a shot at publishing works completely unrelated to the ability of building an audience and marketing was referred to as content capital by Kyle Chayka in filterworld. I think that was a good term for it...like all capital aggregating it is a pain and never ending.

i can't remember where i was reading it but they were making the point that it's more important to have a small, super engaged audience than to capture everyone in your audience. when u spend all your time trying to capture everyone, u really don't have time to really do the work the way u want to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
