Loved this whole report, but particularly your whole section on LinkedIn - really thought-provoking - and a fabulous read about going viral with a LinkedIn 'Influencer'. Thanks Kyle!
That image thing....wow. This is especially true for memes. Literally the only reason I stay on Instagram right now is the memes. Another thing: we cannot ignore that, since most of us spend our lives working, most media consumption is at work. So what travels better: images and podcasts or TikToks that are so OBVIOUSLY a distraction.
What TikTok is doing now is replacing my end-of-day relaxation hole that TV used to fill. TV time has now been shortened to bedtime entertainment to put me to sleep. Or a weekend indulgence.
thank you 😭 like i feel like this is so obvious and is another example of 1.) technology hitting a ceiling as far as information carrying (a la supernormal) and 2.) industry forcing adaptations for shit that is just not needed or wanted. a lack of economic creativity, honestly!! and to the point of work: yes. america works on MEMES (not dunkin) and images work best and travel quicker. and the post work TT is so real…once that crossover: case closed. neither good nor bad but is a fact of life!!!

Really enjoyed the LinkedIn take, too. It’s such a weird place that I’ve avoided, but go there to chat with old work friends on occasion. But I do want to see it transform with more performative acts of art and silliness to just mess it up more! Bring it on.
i think that's exactly it: it's a weird place so why not make it weirder in the service of 1.) getting better jobs/working with interesting people and 2.) making old/current coworkers laugh by poking/making fun of the job. seems like a missed opportunity!!!
