Discussion on: How Does a Post-Modern World Affect Creativity?

a post-modern world produces a creative drive that primarily focuses on numbers, algorithms, illusion, and competition.

I do agree overall, but the posts themselves still need to appeal to eye balls somewhere. That leads to content that can appeal to a large audience, and I don't necessarily think that being more unique or creative is the driver of that. We have seen examples of extremely un-creative or non-unique things do well. You might even think to yourself sometimes, "I feel like I am doing something uniquely creative, why does not one care". I think most of the time the digestibility to a large audience is what drives a platform.

You make a valid point with digestibility! Many platforms succeed in growing a large audience due to their posts being digestible. In relation to post-modernism, people's attention seems to be what these platforms compete over. Therefore, a more digestible post/platform will likely succeed over others.

I also believe that the Internet gives people, both 'consumer' (i hate that word lol) and creator, the ability to produce niches in their own corner. In essence, there's something for basically everyone. Many choices; maybe too many depending on how you look at it.
