The story of Pop Media
Why Now?
The Corporatization of the Internet
The 2020’s has been unlike any decade in human history.
The start of the decade saw the regulation of the free internet and an over whelming corporate takeover of all public discussion in these wild lands of unrestricted free speech.

Pop Corporate aims to document and analyze these quirky trends.
Explosion of the Digital content pipeline
The decade of 2010 was the decade of the smartphone. 2020’s will be the decade of the influencer as not only will the echo chambers of social media platforms lead to people seeking information in search of objective truth, information will start getting populated like human trash – uncontrolled, all pervasive, and of little value. Text completion artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT, image generators such as Stable Diffusion will make content generation accessible to the simplest of the layman. When it becomes difficult to distinguish AI generated content from human, Pop Corporate will be your source for original ideas and discussions.
