Hey, I sincerely wanted to post this with just a guillotine emoji in the title, didn’t have one, went on a Google hike, found the petition and then mixed until smooth and had this beautiful post.
The screenshot itself is just something I found in my meme/shitpost folder on my phone. I try to post something on Lemmy everyday to keep those user numbers up.
And now I’m gonna pin a medal I just cut out of a cereal box to my own chest because you’re welcome.
scrub the influencer brainworms from your gray matter for one moment and produce a critical thought–
engagement with what, exactly?
the signal which carries no message is white noise.
meaningless engagement is distraction, wasted bandwidth.
an emoji is not a meaningful improvement to the material condition of the working class, or a threat to the status quo. It’s not even relevant to the abolition of work.
You’re responding as if they’ve expressed any sort of opinion on that but it’s just facts. It’s just a fact of the state of “journalism” and how online content works now. Higher engagement means more reach, it’s just SEO/marketing shit. These companies aren’t doing it for the betterment of society.
Source??
Or is this just rage bait
Engagement is engagement, whether people are engaged through anger or love.
Engagement is the only metric these types of media sources care about.
Source not for consumption but as proof that it’s not just a bs screenshot for rage bait to push their link

Someone else in the comments found it.

Found a source from Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.nl/im-a-ceo-who-was-burned-out-so-i-took-30-days-off-from-work-to-recharge-in-paris-and-found-my-creative-spark/
Still could be a rage bait article though.
Business insider is based in the Netherlands???
I’m assuming that is just their Dutch site. Kind of like bbc.com
Ah great point!
