And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power. Nothing on the Internet is Free
It’s undeniable. The number of people taking to social media to vent their frustrations and complain to unsuspecting brands is on the rise. Even more interesting is the reason why! The topic of today’s discussion takes a deep dive into what’s really happening when someone complains on social; more specifically when they complain on a paid, sponsored ad on the internet.
Join us as we explore what’s going on in the human brain when people rant about a brand in the comment section of a social media post. We take into consideration the fact that the internet is not free; someone is paying for it, somewhere, somehow.
We also encourage listeners to think more carefully about the content they consume on the internet and explain why we should look behind the wall of technology and acknowledge that there are real people on the other side.
Here’s a sneak peek of what we discuss:
- How you’re paying to participate on social media.
- What would have to happen for you to have an ad-free social media experience.
- Why most people prefer not to look beyond the wall of technology.
- Thoughts on the “invisibility” of the internet.
- Problems that need to be solved so we can move forward as a society.
- A reminder that there are people on the other side of every social media post.
