In this episode, I muse on what I might do if my efforts to accelerate a career in content creation come to naught because the Fediverse doesn’t go anywhere. Will I…gasp…embrace Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram once again? 🤡 The answer may surprise you!

Enshittification (thanks Cory Doctorow!) of social media and other large Silicon Valley-style products &amp; services, combined with the specter of “AI” (ChatGPT, etc.) infecting every company’s efforts, has led to a rather scary inflection point. It’s getting harder and harder to work with corporations and use internet services without feeling fundamentally ethically compromised.</p> <p>On the positive side, there’s a real opportunity here to rebuild an internet actually based on the values we care about—values like sustainability over the long term, avoiding the “fast growth” hype cycle mentality at the cost of a healthy ecosystem, and putting people over tech-infused greed. We can vote with our time, money, and energy by rejecting outrageous claims which do damage to the community and by supporting and contributing to projects and protocols which further a humane, creative, and safe digital world.</p> <h3 id="links--show-notes">Links &amp; Show Notes</h3> <ul> <li><strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fresh-fusion/id1387528457">Leave a review on Apple Podcasts</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="https://jaredwhite.com/creator-class">Subscribe to Creator Class (a Newsletter)</a></strong></li> <li><strong>Follow Jared</strong> on <a href="https://indieweb.social/@jaredwhite">Mastodon</a></li> <li><a href="https://jaredwhite.com/podcast/96">See the comments on this very episode, and add your own!</a></li> <li><a href="https://indieweb.social/@jaredwhite/110554181919259366">On Mastodon: The block list for Safari has grown. 😎</a></li> <li><a href="https://indieweb.social/@jaredwhite/110556419815993991">On Mastodon: ”It’s his data, you see.

Putting stuff out before you reap the “rewards” of fame and fortune is not easy at all. John Campea talked about this in a recent video where he shared his challenge every day of having to convince himself to get out of bed early in the morning and start working on the next episode of The John Campea Show. Even for a seasoned broadcaster who makes a living from YouTube, this stuff isn’t easy. Or look at folks like Jimmy Fallon or Stephen Colbert doing their thing every weekday, every week (almost), year in and year out. They’re professionals.</p> <p>You have to treat your creative work like a professional, even if you’re still an amateur (in the best sense of the word). To do truly meaningful work, to become great at your art, it takes consistency and perseverance to forge a real legacy.”</p> John Gruber’s feeling grumpy on the 10th anniversary of the iPad, but we’re here to revel in geek iPad fandom and—despite any lingering limitations—reflect on the importance and success of the iPad product category and muse on where the iPadOS software can go from here.

(Recent rebel activity was spotted on the surface of the planet Earth, in the city known as Portland in the state of Oregon.)
