Instagram post is performance.

Social media makes you talk, makes you perform. It instructs you to post, it instructs you to 'express'.

You should post more to be a creator. You can get money out of it. Your media life is more worthy than what you're actually doing. Example, when you're a software engineer and you're making "A Day in My Life" video that blows up and grants you to ops that pays you more than your job.

Social media becomes a portfolio.

Before social media: you're not (A)rtist, you're just crafter/maker.

After social media: everyone becomes (A)rtist.


If everything in life can be quantized through the embeddings, then is it legitimate to quantize the number of your following, followers, posts, likes? Or the quantization unit is wrong, it should not be the discrete number of following, followers, posts, or likes, they are metrics that continuous in nature, or perhaps qualitative.

The Hierarchy of Socials in Social Media (that the creator of social media hasn't thought of much and hasn't made any related feature to it other than "Close Friends" circle but apparently our social circle expands beyond just 1 tier of close friends)
