Sad by Design
On Platform Nihilism
Sad by Design offers a critical analysis of our social media environment and what it’s doing to us. Lovink calls for us to acknowledge the engineered intimacy of these sites—because boredom, he argues, is the first stage of overcoming “platform nihilism,” which can free us to organize to stop the data harvesting industries that run them.
