“There’s such a lie about #SocialMedia. There’s no context, but there’s the illusion of connection,” Pickering says firmly. He describes #algorithms being “designed to generate anger and division to increase #engagement” as “a really sinister way to run a business”.
“We used to be able to just disagree, or not like a thing someone said … social media has a lot to answer for.”
He is also critical of the #ClipEconomy, in which short soundbites from longer #conversations such as #podcast interviews are clipped up for social media, designed to maximise engagement.
“To #atomise [storytelling] means we’re losing something … what that eventually means is we lack the ability to keep the powerful accountable.” he says. “You don’t get enough people paying attention to one thing long enough to do something about it.” #Democracy, he believes, “suffers as a result of it”.”
Short pithy sound bites, engagement, sound a bit like #TheProject doesn’t it Charlie.
