I’ve been thinking a lot about why we all feel so burnt out lately, and I realized it’s because the vocabulary we use for the internet has become incredibly corporate. We "curate feeds," "manage brands," and "maintain networks."

I made a video essay about this shift—from the internet being a place we visit (the old dial-up days) to a place where we live. I specifically dive into the idea of "Digital Dailies"—those small, repetitive tasks we do just to keep our digital avatars from decaying.

I'd love to know if anyone else feels that "phantom vibration" or the pressure of being constantly perceived. Would love to hear your thoughts on the "unpaid internship" of social media.
