So here's what I'm thinking about after *checks notes* 3 months since posting on any social media anywhere. In the attention/creator economy, part of what you sell is yourself. Your “brand,” we tend to call it, but what we mean by that is the authenticity of the person — or a simulacrum of it. 1/

Because I’m not sure the all-access, all-the-time expectations of the creator economy really add up to authenticity; we just expect ourselves (and others) to be constantly “visible” in some way, if we are doing creative work. Which, leading language aside, is (probably) not some great evil. 2/
