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.
@heysannidhi you can leave out "the web" from the sentence, too.
Most content has to be created in a hurry to maximize the return of investment, and that has an impact on its quality.
Even worse is that opinions on what’s good usually differ and are distorted by who has enough money to influence them, so you cannot even use rankings to find out the good stuff.
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
This is an old but excellent video about how platforms are made and who chooses to use them.
I see a lot of the growing pains in the Twitter-Exodus here, and how Mastodon fits in (especially with people who refuse to recognize on-boarding regular users as a real problem).
Enjoy, or don't, but I suspect you'll feel informed anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3snVCRo_bI #socialMedia#mastodon#youtube#videoHosting#contentCreators
@majorlinux First time I heard of Kick was when I heard about a 100% asshole streamer being awful in Japan. So if they let that be up on their system, and if their users flock to it, I have no reason to go near it.
Sure Twitch can be annoying, and it needs much much more competition, but Kick ain’t it.
