Look, no one wants to kick Big Tech to the curb more than I do, but, also: it's good that Google indexes the news so people can find it, and it's good that Facebook provides forums where people can talk about the news.

Mal ehrlich.. wer das Feuer sucht, der wird sich daran verbrennen.
Abgesehen davon bin ich sehr froh, wenn die sogenannten #Content Creator sich heute, morgen, in alle Zukunft weiterhin und ausschließlich mit den anderen Qualitäts-Content-Creatorn auf einer weit, weit entfernten kommerziellen Plattform bewegen.

Unpopular opinion, I think calling what you produce primarily #content devalues your work.

Let’s discuss certain unwritten rules about reading, and flipping etiquette.

  1. Put yourself in the reader’s position. Flip what they want to read.
  2. Your readers may be following several magazines, don’t inundate them with the same article. That’s spammy
  3. Flipboard is a reading and discovery experience. No one cares how old your article is.
  4. Do share last year’s 4th of July recipes, if they are good and useful I will share them
  5. I think it’s time group magazines put a few flipping policies in place.
    I’ll come up with suggestions next post.

Please, use to generate tons of that you otherwise couldn't.

But for the love of all that is holy, pay attention to what you are putting out. Read the output. If it doesn't say exactly what you would say, edit it! Make changes. Regenerate. Go through the process of making it good.

I truly don't think people hate AI content. They hate lazy content.

Scientist/blogger Erik Hoel is deeply worried about the "enshittification" of the internet via generated #AI #content. He argues that at the end of the day, it's not just about bad actors and spammers, but about massive mainstream #pollution, a "tragedy of the #commons" that even small children will be exposed to every day. The only answer to the problem, according to Roel: Some sort of "Clean Internet Act".

A more broad question, both for creators and people who watch/listen:

What infrastructure, teams, etc. do large content creators have, in order to support them doing the work? Editors, producers, community management, tech support, ?

We keep talking about these AMAZING camera improvements for our phones, but phone audio is still WILDLY inconsistent. Audio MAKES your video.
https://somegadgetguy.com/2024/03/07/phone-cameras-rock-but-we-need-better-audio/

We've only seen a handful of phones handle audio well. We don't need a lot to fix this situation on premium camera focused devices, but companies need to take these features as seriously as they do camera sensors.

Exactly the same content, posted on the same time, to similar crowd, gets 10x more engagement here than on Twitter, even tho I have 10x less followers here.

Why are people still using Twitter for promotion? And some are paying money thinking they're getting a good deal.

Come on. This push to summarize all webpages and written content with is ridiculous.

See this example from Search - in what world is this an adequate summary for an 8,000+ word article that takes 43 minutes to read?

The amount of detail, specificity, narrative, and actual arguments that get lost is mind-boggling.

Everything is just… flattened to the most basic and bare-bones facts.

Every unique part of that piece, every voice, personality - stripped away.
