Post-Algorithmic Modernism
“Post-Algo moves away from “doin’ it for the ‘gram,” and back to tactile, textured, layered spaces. It craves touch and experience. It doesn’t need likes. It’s a return to one’s brand, one’s needs, and what you like when you’re not on your phone. It’s about developing your own taste.”

“The culture that feels the most dangerous, and, thus, exciting to young people, will be what you can’t see online. And the most dangerous thing for platforms is not racist garbage. It’s unmonetizeable content.

Is this how it all ends: each of us alone at home, messaging with increasing levels of desperation and punctuation?
The Great Stay and the quiet collapse of the marketing job market
The Great Stay “… is driven by fear. Marketers are staying not because they love their role but because they’ve looked at the alternatives and concluded that the risk of leaving exceeds the pain of staying. And the more they do that, the more the job market slows.”
