Hello Abraham. Very interesting blog post, it was an enjoyable read. I also enjoyed watching Bo Burnham’s video “Welcome to the Internet.” How he told a story of the average internet user and what they end up being exposed to, whether intentionally or unintentionally, through a song is lyrical genius. I didn’t know he produced the video all by himself, very cool! I like how you transitioned from the view of the internet from Bo Burnham’s perspective to your own opinion of the internet. I also like how you connected that topic to personalized ads, reflecting back on how Burnham said “boredom is crime.” I would love to hear your opinion on performative activism and how, like personalized ads, it uses underhanded tricks to get engagement with a product.
