The Effect Of “Filters” Like TikTok’s ‘Bold Glamour’ On Teens Using Social Media

How beauty filters like TikTok’s ‘bold glamour’ affect tweens using social media. TikTok’s new “bold glamour” filter “enhances” physical features in a way that makes it difficult to distinguish whether someone is using a filter or not, despite its airbrushing qualities. Unlike its predecessors, this filter allows movement through an AI feature with the filter remaining fixed on when, for example, a hand crosses the face, with fewer glitches. Users could be left comparing their unfiltered appearance with their “perfect” filtered self. They may start to develop unrealistic goals of perceived physical perfection that affect their self esteem. Although the terms of service for most social media platforms require users to be at least 13, a significant number of “tweens” (children between the...

A Simple Game Of Wordle Became Part Of The New York Times’ Business Plan

Wordle: how a simple game of letters became part of the New York Times’ business plan. In just a few months, a simple five-letter puzzle has earned its creator a seven-figure sum. The growth of Wordle, in which players attempt to work out a mystery word, has been rapid. At the start of November 2021, the online game was played by just 90 people. By the start of 2022, that number was 300,000, increasing to 2 million soon after. It has reached a level of popularity that made the New York Times value it at over US$1 million (£738,000). Part of the game’s value to users – and therefore to the publishers of the New York Times – is its simplicity. It is quick to play, easy to understand and provides a few moments of stimulating distraction. For anyone yet to try it, it involves six chances to...

Selling Art Online Is All About ‘Findability’

Web-based artist networks, art marketplaces, and online art galleries are helping artists who are selling art online, a more and more common practice as time goes by. More often than not, selling your art online on your own can be an experience that disenchants many artists with the prospect of selling art online using any tool; even a personal website can be difficult to manage in comparison to an online gallery account. The online art market is growing considerably, and with online art sales on the rise, it is proving to be an increasingly fruitful avenue for artists, even compared to traditional methods for selling art as an artist. Previously established networks like those used by online art marketplaces and gallery settings have many things going for them that personal websites d...

Political Crowdfunding Does More Than Raise Money – It Can Also Rile Up Opponents

The success of politicians in the U.S. largely depends on the amount of funding they receive from various sources. Although political action committees contribute considerably to elections, a recent survey showed that grassroots contributions – gifts under US$200 – are equally crucial and contribute a sizable amount. Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign raised 69% of its funding from small donors. Traditionally, volunteers went door to door to solicit donations from individuals. Today, politicians use social media to encourage their supporters to donate and eventually vote for them. Many politicians such as senators Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz have turned to this sort of political crowdfunding. The primary objective of political crowdfunding is to assist politicians in raising funds...

Shedding Light On Crowdfunding For Charity – 4 New Findings

Raising money online from a group of donors, known as crowdfunding, is relatively new. The term was coined in 2006 by entrepreneur Michael Sullivan. But having lots of people chip in to support a cause or help out their friends and loved ones is a long-established practice. The pooling of contributions has occurred throughout human history. It’s hard to know exactly how much money changes hands today through GoFundMe, Indiegogo, Kickstarter and the thousands of other crowdfunding platforms out there. Without any U.S. oversight or coordination, gathering accurate and complete data is next to impossible. But there’s no doubt that crowdfunding is on the rise. Still, estimates exist. Online crowdfunding campaigns are raising more than US$34 billion a year around the world, according to one,...

So Rich Folks Aren’t Stingy As F**k After All?

At least half of American families have been giving money to charity every year – but that fraction had been declining prior to the global pandemic. We’re living in a very different world now. Millions are unemployed, the needs of nonprofits are ballooning and there are constant appeals for donations on social media and television. It’s still unclear how charitable giving will change. But one thing is the same: Massive donations by the rich and famous are making the same big splash they always do. Take, for example, the recent group of billionaires who are donating to pandemic relief. The growing list of these high-profile givers includes established philanthropists like Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who runs a big foundation along with his wife Melinda Gates, and Alibaba founder J...

Recent And Rapid Collapse Of CNN’s Streaming Service, CNN+

It seems that any hope that legacy media had of recovering audiences was crushed by the recent and rapid collapse of CNN’s streaming service, CNN+. For the past decade, viewers and listeners have gradually been abandoning legacy broadcast media, which refers to news media institutions established before the digital era, such as ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, NPR and NBC. Audiences have instead gravitated toward nascent media makers that got their start on platforms like YouTube, Substack, Spotify and TikTok. The popular programming on these platforms – which includes “Bad Faith,” “Breaking Points,” “The Katie Halper Show,” “The Joe Rogan Experience,” “The Jimmy Dore Show,” “Empire Files,” “Useful Idiots” and “The Realignment Podcast” – are collectively, and sometimes individuall...
