Commodification U

At its inception social media was a way for us to share our experiences
Now it is a constant onslaught of trying to tell us what type of experience we should be having.

How we should feel
What we should think,
what our "take" should be.

Another one-liner to really win that next vapid quarrel.

It used to be a playground where artists, and coders, and photographers, and athletes and cooks,
and people from all walks of life,
Creating new forms of light.
We were able to come together and connect and share
to create new things in novel ways.

The digital landscape was a place where money didn't matter.
Where information and passion
where its lifeblood.

But moment by moment,
frame by frame,
It is becoming ever more constricted and restricted
matching the growing tyranny in the world.

Nay the truth is far more stark.

The internet has become the very means
of the New Tyranny
