Community of practice/Community of convenience


Unfortunately, hustlers have hijacked the term of commune, to make things of convenience and motivator being lured into the trap.

Copy-performers of status and affiliation, all for the interruption advertisers are adding to inundation. They're asking and hustling for it. Every moment to be converted into a measurement, lost without notice.

Everybody's too busy hustling for the next SEO event, such a game is an act is futility. Something I can afford to avoid, certainly deserving of humanity. Yet not my beeswax. Energy is the serviceability.

Too busy being a gas station, when it comes to direct response platforms, a gas station with trophies. (Quoting that from Stephanie Sterling.)

The praxis is ill-founded on a set of axis, and getting better at a feedback loop of feeding an algorithm. Not my problem if that's the game they want to play.

Guess with the few who want to enrol along with the ride, and not let others be absorbed by the pretentious mass media rush is going to be the course.

20-30 min read on communities of convenience , by Cory Doctorow. With cussing.

It's more IP than community. The certain dragon I critiqued earlier falls in the category.
