I watched The Social Dilemma last night. If anyone is curious why STS scholars could be so upset with a documentary that at its core espouses an agreeable and important critique of social media, here's a thread. 1/11
I suspect most critical scholars agree with the argument of the doc (and might appreciate its ability to distill a complex problem down to its most toxic core). Namely, the mechanisms developed to monopolize user attention have far reaching and damaging consequences. 2/11
