I have a friend who used to work at Netflix and at the time they didn’t see their competition as other streaming services but instead their competition was . . . people leaving the house. Their model was all skewed towards stopping you leaving the house, they wanted you to just stay home and watch Netflix. How sad is that?
I’m having a battle with social media, it’s been ongoing for years now. I don’t have it on my phone, I regularly take long breaks but still I can’t find a balance - as soon as I’m on it I become a passive consumer (maybe something to do with my brain type? Maybe something to do with how social media is engineered?).
And when I do manage to be a producer on social media, put some ‘content’ up (god I love that word, its so creepy) I just feel like I’m facilitating other people’s passive consumption.
I think I may be old.
I think I may be finally leaving the world of social media.
