Jamie Thingelstad’s post On Audience Capture is well worth a read. This is a good example as to why he is one of my favourite writers here on Micro.blog.
@SimonWoods I'm a @jthingelstad fan.
"When I think of my liberty I’m considering the ability to act as I please, without constraint and on my own discretion. That last part is the one that I worry about in regard to advertising, or algorithms prompting me with information. It is also the primary concern about audience capture."
@SimonWoods Thank you for the recommendation. It’s even more exciting that he’s not writing on Substack so I have far more ability to read his work.
@Annie What is strange for those of us of a certain age is that this was essentially assumed and known with regard to the web, and yet it has not been learned by newcomers seemingly over the past ten-to-fifteen years. Always good to see it making a comeback, however.
@gregmoore Agreed; specifically, I like Buttondown a lot. Looking forward to using it again in the future.
