Notes on slop
Ideas from George Mack:
1. Subprime audience - A creator optimising for size of audience and ending up with a junk audience. They end up producing content they themselves wouldn’t consume.
2. The forgetting paradox - Wordle outperformed every headline in society's consciousness for 2022. All the news everyone was worried outlasted by a novelty
... See moreEven the language has gone stale. We don’t talk about portfolios or bodies of work or essays anymore. We talk about content. That word... sterilized, corporate, utterly devoid of soul, is the final nail in the coffin. “Content” doesn’t demand you to think or to feel; it demands you to engage. It’s not meant to last. It’s meant to loop.
