In episode 4 of The Art of Discourse, we embark on a deep dive into the ever-evolving world of social media. We discuss Twitter’s struggles under the dictatorship of Elon Musk and how it contrasts with the profitability and unrivaled power of the Meta social media monopoly. We reminisce about the bygone days of Snapchat, Vine, and MySpace, reflecting on why these once-prominent platforms faded into obscurity. Lastly, we shed light on the negatives of creatives and artists promoting their craft solely through these apps and emphasize the importance of having a personal website to safeguard against the ever-shifting tides of social media algorithms and trends. Join us on this thought-provoking journey through the realms of social media, tech giants, and the delicate balance between innovation and influence in the digital age.
