Internet lost its interest for me with the “pivot to video” moment eight or nine years ago. Right about the same time as algorithmic feed sorting. The more “smart” tech gets the dumber we are made to feel.
I've been thinking about how TikTok completed the pivot-to-video content turn that facebook wanted to Make Happen back then, and the cosmic irony that Meta is today in the process of being 'pivoted-to-video' (in the death-euphemism sense) by TikTok, the way facebook put all those journalists out of a job back then.
I guess this is also what Jason Farago is getting at with: "the “drift” into postmodernism is only now being completed thanks mainly to digital transmission and reproduction"
I read as: TikTok completed postmodernism? maybe?
postmodernism is modernism getting 'pivot-to-video'ed ?
Keep in mind that no matter the medium, it is always (so far in history) a person with biases and shared cultural references speaking to you. Books aren't without authors (yet).
