Hello Again
Above: The Time Tunnel, because it why not?
I thought I had been blogging more or less every day for four years, but turns it it’s actually been five—I started around this time in 2021.
As people probably noticed, I’ve run out of a lot of memoir-like stories that were fun to tell, but I can’t bring myself to stop blogging either.
A friend of mine has a big-time social media presence, and he was turned down for an awesome job for which he was more than qualified at a big streamer because they told him there was literally no way for them to vet the hundreds of hours he had posted of himself talking online.
So great, there’s that too!
Crazy! And scary...! I've been thinking about this since reading your post yesterday. I've gone to colleges that teach students how to promote themselves through their own personal websites, social media, etc. I never thought it could become a liability. When I was going to music school, Facebook et al were just getting going. I wonder now if these same career centers and career-oriented courses are warning students of the double-edged sword that is social media. Also, you would think that your friend's employer could use AI to summarize his posts (although I would be worried that it would not be accurate). Not that I'm a big fan of AI...
