Since my life as a teenager, the advent of social media )and the internet entirely) has been this weird omnipresence.

Often giving me whiplash.

  • AOL instant messenger is cool chat with your crush from high-school!
  • meeting someone from the internets? Do you want to get murdered only murderers do that.
  • You can’t post that to the internet ?!
  • I can’t believe you haven’t posted that to the internet !
  • Gross why are you talking about social media.
  • Gross you don’t have social media.
  • I’m above it I don’t take it seriously.
  • You HAVE to take social media seriously.
  • Omg she had that many fake friends what a loser no real friends.
  • omg she only has that little friends online what a loser no real friends.
  • Ew she met her boyfriend online.
  • He met his wife on tinder isn’t that so weird.
  • You sent her a nude photo of your what?!
  • I paid rent from the money I made from only fans

The talk around social media, network effects, costs of switching, being locked in, lack of interoperability… fucking DMCA

Where do we go now?
