Summary
Bridget reacts to her recent "leave me behind" essay going viral and dives into why legacy media stars are desperately chasing a youth demographic that doesn't care about them. She breaks down the difference between building a "territory" for your work versus fighting for "hierarchy" in an algorithm-driven world. It’s a call to stop performing for 20-somethings and start focusing on the "invisible audience" of late Boomers and Gen Xers. #GenX #MediaCriticism #DumpsterFire #Algorithm&nbs...
