Twitter’s new… uh… Competitor
At first it kinda seems like this mockumentary about “Flutter” seems like any other “make-fun-of-Twitter-because-it’s-popular-right-now” youtube videos, but then it begins to sink in. People really do act this way about Twitter. It’s all about creating a market where there isn’t one, and hyping it up to cash out. At the end of the day, a good portion of the people on these services are doing just that: talking it up so they can be “experts” and make a buck. It’s been going on for centuries of course. As a designer at an ad agency, I can’t really say I’m not a part of that. Let me persuade you that you need me and/or my service. You don’t just want it, you need it. Let me tell you what it can do for you. And, pretty soon, someone makes another spin to make another buck, all the while a ton of people are out there wondering why they aren’t making any money. “Where is my kick-back?” they ask. And the answer is that there isn’t one. You’ll only get the value you make out of it, not the value someone else promises you. Anyway, it’s pretty funny. Enjoy.
