BONUS PREVIEW: Is social media actually "dead" now?
Show notes
Will we ever get another new platform to communicate with on the internet?
Today, we’re talking about the various eras of social media platforms — from Myspace to Facebook, Twitter to Instagram, and Vine to TikTok — and their biggest moments in culture, like Fred, Shit My Dad Says, Wendy’s Twitter, and Kombucha Girl. Some have stood the test of time so far, but mostly, we’re all beholden to platforms that have so much power and money now that they can control where we post and how we do it.
Musician Connor Musarra joins us to help Ryan define when a social media platform’s dominance begins, when it wanes, and when we might just get something new.
Our guest Connor Musarra is a musician and self-described “nonstop poster” whose work you can find everywhere @connormusarra.
