Summary
<p>SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/taylorlorenz</p><p>Buy a subscription to my Tech and Online Culture newsletter, User Magazine to support my work!!!! 🙏 https://www.usermag.co </p><p>In the early days of the internet, social media offered a space where anyone could casually share their daily thoughts, fleeting moments, and observations about the world. Casual posting was the norm, and this extension of everyday life still felt spontaneous and personal. </p><p>But lately, that culture has disappeared. It has been replaced by highly curated influencer content, manufactured viral slop, and it feels like everyone is just posting… less. </p><p>Kyle Chayka is a writer at The New Yorker and he recently explored this phenomenon in a piece. He joins me to talk about the death of casual posting and what this shift says about the future of the internet. </p><p>Follow me:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz </p><p>https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz3.0 </p><p>https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorlorenz</p><p><br /></p>
