The Idea of Audiences

Yes, with current social media large audience = lots of attention = lots of money, which makes a lot of sense.

You spoke a bit about online tribes and stuff, I think that seeing this would be just another alternative place for people to get a service. The service of online video that is free the only real place to go is YouTube, just because of simple economics and market share ect.

I like the bit where you talk about 'experiences becoming more available to everyonne'. I think that this is why people follow these famous and rich influenceers because they are in such a fortunate positiion where anything that they want they can have and is at their finger tips and they share this to their followers, who are just wishing and dreaming of the famous influencers' reality.

I thought about a similar idea this morning which you briefly touched on where everything in life is just becoming more and more superficial and/or artificial. Look at the foods we eat today, processed food instead of whole foods. So much more money but much less wealth. Having lots of 'followers' but not having many real friends Talking to loads of people on messenger chats but not having real deep connections and conversations. Perfumes are chemically manufactured as opposed to the beautiful smells of roses and plants in nature. Everything is becoming more and more superficial. This is worrying indeed.

I like the phrase of the society becoming friction less because everyone doesn't have different agendas.

I think a problem here is that people who are smaller Steemit users, like ourselves, can exchange value to one another but this is limited by our steem power. I could think that this video offered me personally a lot of value, al though I could only exchange this value to something smaller in the real world. ( I hope that bit made sense)

Thanks Adrian
