Welcome to the machine - Generation Like Review


These are the thoughts about two documentaries, that are relevant to any entertainer or those who are looking to make a career off social media.

Learning about fame and how it operates here is certainly something. These documentaries be watched free.

Understanding how commercialization within social media, along with status roles is like finding out that status.

Tooltime has been an old timer of the youtuber community, yet he covers a new economy of likes that rules the internet as of this day. The dysfunctionality of this commercialization is what constructs.

This monetization of the attention, along with the increasing platforms that push creatives to spread their attention thinner. Really shows the value of attention amongst the advertiser and those who are interested in changing the culture.

It's important to see the social media status play to see the manipulation the marketers have done with it.

In Seth Godin's welcome to hitsville one must pursue the short-head in order to make a hit. The 'Whales' (shivering.) Yet according to this documentary and the marketing within social media. This is the thing they've been exactly doing.

If one does not want to play it, don't expect any commercial interest to come. Yet it feels like high school that comes with it. Of course, this shift of quantification of data and shift of attention is going as new technologies move.



It could be more understandable of ivory tower academics vs the commercial main road. It came to be with my prior life and my life as an entertainer. Things like this crop up.

This other rant he's did was his conclusion after many years to this day. A tired Vlogger's thought.
