Honestly I’ve believed for a long time that posting and social media use overall is a form of alienated creative labor that we do on behalf of the techno capitalist class.
I remember hearing a Yiannis Varoufakis talk where he said exactly this. We are literally creating value as we post for firms like reddit, facebook, twitter etc.

It's harder and harder to reach people with some form of creativity without going through these homogeneous channels. Really fucking sucks.
Exactly, they have always controlled the production of artistic mediums but it’s so much worse than ever.
It's way worse. They've commoditied artistisc output to such a boring degree. Not that there isn't still great art being made, it's just a bummer.
