Media is constantly changing. Not even 100 years ago, the first TV was invented. Now, we can consume media on our TVs, phones, tablets, computers, and even our watches. But not only can we consume it, we can also create it.
\ Content creation has become democratized, allowing virtually anyone to produce and share media online. Platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have given power to the people and have become pivotal for news and entertainment
\ Meanwhile, streaming services like Netflix and Hulu have dethroned cable TV and have revolutionized how we watch shows and movies.
\ But it’s not all peaches and rainbows. Despite these innovations, the industry faces significant challenges. Misinformation and fake news undermine information reliability and media ethics, while a fragmented competitive landscape intensifies the struggle for audience engagement and attention.

- Real or not real? Social Media, Parasocial Relationships, and Internet Influencers by Linh Dao Smooke
My parasocial relationships with 2010s internet influencers began when social media platforms were new. These influencers felt like friends, sharing relatable content and personal stories. Their seemingly perfect lives influenced my purchasing decisions and emotional investments.
\ However, unexpected events, like breakups, revealed the hidden, flawed sides of their lives, leaving me feeling betrayed. This essay explores the dynamics of parasocial relationships, the power imbalance, and the challenges faced by influencers and their audiences in navigating these one-sided connections.
\ \ That’s all for today!
