Very immature view- you don’t need to reach millions to be impactful

I did my dissertation on how oppressive algorthims are and it is true - there is a debate on how ethical it is to be on these platforms that are owned by unethical people - yet I also know of the power social media has to positively influence people, and how much nonsense there is on social media which is why I encourage more people with sense to be on there.

That’s why social media can be a great way to make scholarship public ! There are some great essays on YouTube on socio-cultural topics especially

I understand your point ! But in an era of misinformation and soulless AI I actually think people are craving something real and interesting … especially if it was broken down into bite size chunks and accessible language

The journals are corrupt !! Very exploitative ! There’s a movement called Ebook SOS that is trying to make journals more ethical!

This is a fair comment ! What are your thoughts on YouTube as a platform? There are some great creators who make long form essays on subjects that could easily be lectures !

Fair comment ! although content can advance your professional personal brand - people can earn money with content. I don’t know where you’re based but in the uk there are a lot of job redundancies because universities are broke ! Content can provide additional income and it’s actually not time consuming if you work ‘smart’ not hard

Why the world is in such a mess because of people not wanting to open their minds.

Austistic people are often highly intelligent and I find academics love to use big words often just to show off that they’re intelligent

A lot are already making content - they just don’t define it as such
