I wonder if Teddy Wayne could have requested that this article be posted without all of the Tweet/Like/etc at the top. The inclusion of these buttons both hurts the point that he's making while ironically explaining why online media has become such a vacuous echo chamber.
- spacemanaki 14y agoNote, for those that don't know, that this will appear in the print edition of the magazine that is on its way to mailboxes and newsstands everywhere, so maybe the point would be hurt less in print. Maybe it would be funnier in print too, although I kind of doubt that. Shouts & Murmurs is very rarely funny.
- FuzzyDunlop 14y agoHow many people will have read it and decided not to use those buttons for some fear of proving the article's point? > Just post me and pretend like you personally did something good. When’s the last time you volunteered or even gave money to a homeless person Ideally, this would be a really cynical comment. Sadly, it is not.
