the problem is multiple actually:
a) most internet-connected devices these days favor content consumption vs content creation (blogs vs instagram),
b) mainstream culture > closely-knit communities (facebook > forums)
c) big-player takeovers (facebook for groups, google for search) over previously somewhat niche areas and, actually, internet infrastructure
d) if you're not a big player, you don't exist... and back to c)
- asark 7y ago> a) most internet-connected devices these days favor content consumption vs content creation (blogs vs instagram), You chose Instagram as your example, to make the point that phones favor consumption over creation?
- arpa 7y agoYes! Instagram has the appearance of a OC/creation platform, but, typically of such platforms (such as twitter/fb) the "content" is low-effort "convenient" opportunistic trivia, and the product consumed is likes, followers, etc.
