platforms are medium

One very cool aspect of platforms we don’t talk about enough is their ‘medium-potential’.

when you know how to work their algo, you can turn :

  • Pinterest into a tool to make peace with your body
  • Twitter/X into a space where cool conversations are happenning (and nerds are posting)
  • Substack into a language learning space
  • or YouTube into a window into a whole different way of living

whatever you are interested in, you can (and imo should) consider the platform as a medium, and absolutely REFUSE the default shitty experience
