dcom Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Quote Breaking down both the products and consumers of culture into data has not only revealed an apparent underlying formula for virality; it has also contributed to new kinds of formulaic content and a canalizing of taste in the age of streaming. Reduced to component parts, culture can now be recombined and optimized to drive user engagement. This allows platforms to squeeze more value out of backlogs of content and shuffle pre-existing data points into series of new correlations, driving the creation of new content on terms that the platforms are best equipped to handle and profit from. (Listeners will get the most out of music optimized for Spotify on Spotify.) But although such reconfigured cultural artifacts might appear new, they are made from a depleted pantry of the same old ingredients. This threatens to starve culture of the resources to generate new ideas, new possibilities.

Either the writer really does not know how a business is run or he's deliberately exaggerating the vinyl sales profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 recently found this group of people that believe humans have been in contact with aliens since WW2 and there have been covert government kidnappings of various people around the world to aid in some kind of galactic conflict with different alien beings. a few (lucky) individuals seem to have come to the realization that they were these soldiers (known as super soldiers) and began a network for therapy (?) and/or sharing their story (whistleblowing). the guy below is one of the most prominent although they also have some celebrities such as this guy who fought against the martians for almost 2 decades or this lady who was a nacht waffen (dark fleet) pilot i.e. the bad guys 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
