"…a theory on #thenewcool: You have to essentially pre- #deplatform yourself.
#Culture right now is determined not by #human teams of editors & producers picking & choosing what youth culture gets the spotlight, but, instead, by the #unthinkingalgorithms that power YouTube & TikTok. Which means the only things that have the level of #scarcity & #danger required to be seen as #cool by young people will, slowly, but surely, be whatever is unacceptable on those platforms."

"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. The “ #metric” that will matter most going forward will not be the numbers at the bottom of a post or video, but the #humanbeings in a room that left their house to experience something. Which, of course, will be filmed and put back online. You can’t escape #thematrix entirely."
