Like Oliver says, social media has evolved from being an information, marketing and resource tool online into a machine designed entirely to keep eyeballs locked on the screen. For those of us that want (actually, need) to create art how do we navigate this world? I have no answers, but I can imagine many artists seeking to revert back to primarily the physical space (books, shows, paintings etc). Have you any considerations regarding what seems to be a small but growing trend toward physical music, the "return" of LPs etc?
Always enjoy the data interlaced with great music I have never heard of before... Its funny how I have been introduced to a lot of new great music through substack, I would never have imagined it :)
Hmm, unless there is some form of unforeseen change in the technology landscape, I don’t see a mainstream return to physical media (eg. CDs). For the average consumer, getting stuff for free/freemium/ad-supported is pretty good! You also have the perceived environmental cost of the production of physical media (although digital media is just as bad, Kyle Devine’s book is worth a read!), I just don’t see it happening any time soon.
