It’s abundantly clear that social media is misaligned AI and that people are starting to care, I just wish it would go faster so the web can look more like an infinite patchwork of small communities (again). Personally I’ve already replaced all of my time on the infinite feeds of Reddit and Instagram with a handful of communities (here, two telegram groups, a good ole forum and 4 discord servers) and I don’t miss it.
In that there article it says that Facebook's engagement ratio is 0.14 percent. That means that if you have 700 Facebook friends, one of them is going to click a like button on your post. the fuck are we even doing here We had a meeting with the station wherein two of the DJs I support were all "yess.... yess.... social media" as if I haven't been blowing my goddamn brains out trying to tote that fuckin' bale and goddamn it the mailing list only has 300 people on it but it's also got a click-through rate of 24% which means we get more engagement out of that mailing list than we would with fifty thousand Facebook followers. the fuck are we even doing here
i want a parks and rec style show but it’s you and this radio station keep thinking about maybe occasionally volunteering with one of the stations in the area
I have mentioned to people that when you take the setup for Welcome Back, Kotter (a bunch of burn-out high school kids and their teacher) and the setup for WKRP in Cincinnati (a legacy radio station full of people who have worked there forever) and combine the two, the result is very much Welcome Back WKRP. I'm now making Instagram posts, god help me, not because I think it'll help but because the new program manager is a millennial so of course she's big into Instagram. For my part, I've halfway talked myself into porting the mailing list to Substack. We had a station download and play one of our shows. They are in Guam.
