Eurozine - Blogging, the nihilist impulse - Geert Lovink Annotated
As much as “democratization” means “engaged citizens”, it also implies normalization (as in setting of norms) and banalization. We can’t separate these elements and only enjoy the interesting bits.
Despite countless attempts to feature blogs as alternatives to mainstream media, they are often, more precisely described as “feedback channels”.
In that sense we could also say that blogs are the outsourced, privatized test beds, or rather unit tests
of the big media.
Cynicism, in this context, is not a character trait but a techno-social condition.
blogs are a gift to humankind that no one needs.
