Brilliant! I just started binging black mirror again cos I watched s7 and realised it's been so long I've forgotten most of the early stuff. Caught up to s3e1 'Nosedive' last night. This reminded me of that.
Black Mirror is one of those shows I’ve heard a lot about, but I’ve never actually watched it. From Wikipedia’s synopsis though, you’re absolutely right!
There’s a dark side to social media (and yes, that includes Substack), with each platform occupying its own niche of horror. Where ‘Nosedive’ gives clear Insta vibes, this story is probably more LinkedIn.

Hilarious!
"Grief is just unmetabolized content."
Indeed!
You can hold space for systematic oppression while quietly resisting in a monetizable way.
Reminds me of so many of our own Substackers! 😁
Thank you!
Perhaps I should monetize this story. You know, as a form of quiet resistance 😂
Absolutely! 😎
You even have patents to think about! 😏
So much to unpack here. I loved it. Damn you AI :)
At this rate, I'll convince you to start using AI before you get me to stop 😉
That won’t happen. But give credit where credit is due…
