The social media cycle | Tumblr | Know Your Meme

prokopetz I think the real problem here is that big media corporations seem to believe that social media userbases are fungible, and persist in acting on this belief no matter how many times it's demonstrated to be wrong There's a specific pattern of events that plays out over and over (and over) again, and it looks something like this: 1. Social media platform becomes popular 2. Social media platform is purchased by big media corporation in order to gain access to it large user base 3. Big media corporation realises that social media platform's demographics are not the demographics they want to sell things to 4. Big media corporation institutes measures to drive away "undesirable" users, apparently in the honest belief that the outgoing users will automatically be replaced by an equal number of new, more demographically desirable users 5. This does not, in fact, occur 6. Social media platform crashes and burns You'd think that, by the sheer law of averages, at least one person who's capable of learning from experience would become involved in this whole process at some point. #tumblr #the great purge #internet #technology #social media #business #capitalism 1,815 notes

homunculus-argument My theory is that ghosts get their energy by sucking the oil out of door hinges. That's how you know a place is haunted. Because the doors creak, even if you've just oiled them. The ghosts suck the oil out.
