Over-reverse engineering is what social media does when it comes to the way or that way.
Follow-back of engagement-farming, yet again, an attempt to understand what is made. With the attempt, it all starts with something that is easy, yet it all really with a deep-end dive.
Anybody could do that deep-end dive and swim and if there is no axiology with what is failure, then fresh some more, what is there to lose? With the hacks and there commercial chameleons in the background and the gradual semiosis of meaning to unfold.
So when the ad-supported platforms attention ecnomize everything of products that make absurd sense, if it don't align with the freelancers art, leave it.
