For tagging other accounts, to spread the posts to others
allowing state actors and multinational corporations to surveil, harm, and entrap queer peo-ple financially and legally.
Very messed up, the fact that some countries use it as bait is horrible.
Geolocative apps
not very sure what this means,
Little about our lives is off-limits: “Demographic, economic, behavioral, health, religion, sexual-ity, and life event-based information are all routinely aggregated”
This is something i am not really surprised of
homoconnectivity1
this connection of words seems to mean the connection of gays online. Which later mentions the risks they face.
Marwick argues:‘Instafamous people like Frieszhave the potential to reach an audience that rivals that of television networks in size,what we might call a mass audience’
It is all about shares, one viral picture or video can make you famous overnight, no need to be famous prior, such as the Dimelio family.
nstafamous
This term is huge in the Tik tok industry today considering people are becoming famous overnight.
umerous examples of celebrities caught doing or saying something that underminesthe brands with which they are affiliated
This reminds me of "The last dance" documentary i recently watched on Micheal Jordan and Jordan refused to represent Reebok on the team USA jerseys.
inextricably
This word isnt something im aware of, it means in a way that is impossible to seperate.
Repetitiveness may play an important role in encour-aging active user involvement in remaking video memes.
This happens all of the time, like with the bernie sanders meme recently was shared and repeated countless times.
Playfulness
I feel like most memes shared kind of have this integrated in to it on some scale.
Awa” stories—combining positive valence and high levels of emotional arousal—were, by far, the most-forwarded stories in the New York Times list
All these shows out now about murderers and killers, they for sure result in negative response, but get a lot of popularity.
This tendency toward positivity is in line with the growing body of evidence about the centrality of humor-ous content in viral processes.
Humor equals positivity, this is something that makes sense to me.
For example, the utterly serious keying of the original photograph has been transformed in the process of memetic uptake, which involves explicit playfulness. However, if the keying of politically oriented versions is mainly sardonic, the predominant tone in the pop-culture-oriented ones is amused and humorous
This is something i feel our generation is good at, taking these very cynical things that happen and mock them or turn them into humor, interesting to me. Not all in good taste
hegemonic structure
wasn't really sure what this meant, after searching it up found hegemony is the dominance of one group over another.
And how fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Britney, after all she’s been through! She lost her aunt, she went through a divorce, she had two fucking kids, her husband turned out to be a user, a cheater, and now she’s going through a custody battle
A documentary came out on Brittany spears and all of her troubles, a movement and trend was happening during the film "free Brittany"
dichotomy,
was not sure of this term, looked it up to find it means a division or contrast between 2 things that are opposed.
t only takes a couple of mouse clicks to see hundreds of versions of the planking
This was so popular, it got so popular it was even shown on tv shows such as the office.
It involves technology-based manipulation, for instance by Photoshopping an image or adding a new soundtrack. A plethora of user-friendly applications that enable people to download and re-edit content have turned remixing into an extremely popu-lar practice
This is something i see all of the time on my feed on instagram, very popular
analogous
unaware of the term, after looking it up found it means comparable in certain respects.

This analogy makes the idea of media and viruses easy to picture, viruses and media work in the same way, to spread as quickly and effectively as possible.

listicles’
Very interesting use for two words.
Wobble GIFs rapidly alternate between two or more images to produce astereoscopic effect. While this technique dates at least to Ken Jacobs’ Nervous System filmperformances of the 1970s,
It is interesting to me to see how far back this technology began, its now 51 years later and still used to this day.
teve Wilhite, principalengineer of the GIF, pronounced the acroynm ‘jif
Interesting as he pronounced GIF with a j and not a g.
