Gossip: The New Frontier Of The Culture War
Manage episode 486524317 series 3531721
Is entertainment being weaponised as part of a culture war? Why aren’t we celebrating OnlyFans? The business is a massive UK success story. What can the way The Guardian asks for money tell us about subscriptions?
With left and right politics now firmly established, how are the right deploying entertainment as a means to further their ideology? Who are the protagonists behind the discourse we’re being subjected to?
OnlyFans was started by Tim Stokely in London in 2016 and has risen to be a billion dollar company but it is rarely spoken about. Is the platform’s core content the reason people seem hesitant to shout about a British success story?
The Guardian now has well over a million paying ’supporters’. How has what could be framed a polite way to request support driven their success?
