While killing time between nursing my mandolined knuckles for the sake of potatoes au gratin for a secular Easter dinner tomorrow and ubering-without-fare-or-tip my teen and her friends, I read your article. All this Twitter stuff is silly, as Twitter is very clunky and annoying (and thus I have never used it), so I don't get the appeal. I understand the mining of information for whatever purposes from all social media and other internet platforms, and basic logic supports that the safe harbor sites like Substack have been only temporary pit stops. I appreciate learning more about how all this operates, and your thesis - as you outline it - is fascinating. Never heard of the concepts of "attention as labor and value and digital self-governance," and I'm looking forward to following along. Good luck with your defense! (I have always found the idea that a person has to "defend" his or her years-long work to a panel of academics to be wacky, but in your case, I think "defend" might be the appropriate terminology with the state of academia today.)
