Imagine not cultivating Attention income streams while we still live in the meatverse and before we migrate fully or mostly into the metaverse
Do you not want your children to have a space in the Attentiondel?
“Oh sorry little Jimmy, but no one cares about your day to day life or opinions because I didn’t cultivate enough followers on a social media platform when I was younger… you’re going to have to tweet radical stuff just to get noticed.”
And let’s not lie
Politics and everything else getting more and more divisive and radical isn’t because of Orange man Trump — he was a symptom of the characteristics of our new Attention Economy, not a cause...
Think about it this way: if you DON’T have a large following, but you desperately want to have attention, validation or to get noticed… how will you do it? Easy. Just say some bombastic, over-the-top comment
The more extreme, the more attention you get!
This is a byproduct of the streams of Attention-Currency in a Digital, Metaverse Age… Normies will become more and more desperate to be noticed, and because of this they will say and do progressively more crazy shit.
Politics is not destined to be divisive, though, and fooo thinks eventually the MOST EXTREME thing will be calls for unity
Pendulums swing back and forth, back and forth. Right now radicalism is still the extremism-du-jour to guarantee fast-hit fast-asborb pseudo-relevance…Pathetic and sad perhaps, but true.
One thing seems certain anon…probably best to stop whining about whatever political or cultural or social thing you’ll never change without a platform, and start cultivating a platform first.
But you won’t blv it.
