a quote from @cdixon's Read Write Own that lives in my head rent free: “Social networking should be a place to chat and trade memes, but it should also supercharge longer-form activities: writing essays, creating games, making movies, composing music, recording podcasts, and more. These endeavors require time, money, and effort. For the internet to be an accelerator of deep creativity, it needs a better economic engine. Creating new jobs isn't just nice; it's necessary. As new technologies like Al automate work, social networks can be a counterweight that provides people with fulfilling career opportunities.” “The internet should be an accelerant for human creativity and authenticity, not an inhibitor.”
