social mediaI definitely felt like I was betraying legacy media when I left Texte Zur Kunst and was gonna make a website that aggregates all of our favorite writing in one place, because the most important thing is to filter. There's so much information, the idea is to filter. And I think that around 2016, 17, 18, legacy media, linear media, media that is organized in books where there's an editorial board and there's contributors, and you go back and forth with your editors to come up with a really clear idea that has been circulated in a careful way. That whole system became subservient to the flows of network media, of social media. It didn't matter how brilliant your piece was. Its role in the age of Web 2.0, social media, was to create a circulating pulse, I have Kay Alato McDowell in my head. I find this taxonomy so useful, that in network media, the role is no longer of delivering information. It's simply to create an energy pulse through the network. So it doesn't really matter what the content of that content is, so long as that content creates an emotional response, something that compels you to push like, or to post in dissent, or to do some other action, to further the content circulation through the network. I feel like all sense of loyalty is kind of off the table at this point.

social mediaSo we're gonna be publishing ourselves in a way that we had not thought of before in prime web2 of the 20-teens, where the platform protocol really kept you in a box. I think things will be a lot leakier and I think people will be working across platforms a lot more, and we may be publishing ourselves in these collective ways to sections of the web, and it's an interesting way to think about publishing, although I don't know the container for it yet.
