Today I learned that exist the #technoelitarists. Those are people that believe we must give them something back just because they have the privilege to dedicate their time to the new #technoarts.
They call themselves or are known by the lesser tech-savvy as #contentcreators.
The Technoelitists demand attention and they consider themselves an essential necessity, and therefore they request that any technology must be built around them.
They assume that their presence on the #Fediverse is a gift to us but they constantly blackmail us! Persistently reiterating their #technoarts cannot be bestowed for free. This is because, we do not deserve them, we are simply technopeasants.
They decided that Fediverse wasn't exciting enough for us technopeasants, because the Fediverse was essentially built ugly, without aesthetic, unable to offer the beauty of the technoarts...
The Technoelitists now demand mandatory to bend the fediverse around them because we are simply peasant and we are limited...
The fact that AI tools like ChatGPT et al., generate low unsatisfactory content is a testimony that most of the web content is of low quality. Of course, it depends on algorithms, but radically depends on input too.
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, ?
Do you remember Vidme? that one YouTube alternative from like 2016. it looked really promissing and nice because it wasn’t just full of right wing people. Some P0rn company bought their domain, so all old articles talking about that site now link to that lmao. #contentcreators
The hidden folk at #Yuletide. I retell two related #folktales and speculate about what they say about contemporary society.
I recorded the episode and mentioned the then current state of the pending #VolcanicEruption in #Iceland. While I was doing so, an eruption started. I added a note on this before I uploaded it to Patreon. Now that I am releasing it for everyone, the eruption seems to be over.
In this episode I decided to recommend #PodcastAntenna. I also talked about #RSS and the important role it plays in #podcasts.
I think #ContentCreators should help their audience understand their medium and also point them towards better solutions for accessing content.
RSS is the reason why podcasting is the only medium that is wide reaching and distributed. The corporations want to put podcasts in a walled garden. They (e.g. #Spotify) have tried and though they failed they will try again.
