Thank you for shifting this conversation from resignation to creative adaptation and curiosity-driven choices!

Thanks for writing such a great post on this topic. I've only tangentially touched on this but have not stopped thinking about it since reading Filterworld. I mean, I knew this existed, but didn't realize the impact. I now go out of my way to find things in dark corners, through friends, through search, and actively seek out people to give me recs vs just scrolling around on social. Word of mouth is still such a powerful tool even in this algorithmic age.

I loved everything you just shared. I had a conversation with my husband about having a creativity blockage since I started creating and consuming content. Thank you for sharing! It was worth the read 🤍

Thank you for this. It hit me just right. As a creative human, and also a designer of events, I am fatigued by —many things about battling the algos when it comes to creating my own visual landscape, but especially when it comes to work—trying to find visual representation of what is in my head to “sell” my clients on a vision, and also of clients afraid to do anything that they haven’t seen before, which has gotten much more apparent in the last 15 years since Pinterest, and then Instagram, and now TikTok has become such a force in the world of special events (especially weddings) 👏🏻

LOVED this post! You synthesized all these moving parts perfectly. Thanks for all the new evidence I’m itching to use in my next arguments (discussions*?).

Immediately ordered Kyle Chayka’s book and subscribed to your newsletter from this post :)

Loved this! Heads up, Ayo’s last name is misspelled.
