I'm always looking to better understand how new fans' experiences differ from what mine were.
Me too! And so often the differences surprise me!
Definitely disturbing, this trust and faith they have in the internet, seeming to assume it has their best interests at heart and no caution necessary.
I think it's more subtle than that--I don't think they think it has their bests interest at heart. I think they think it's totally...neutral. Like, it has no interests whatsoever. It has not perspective. Which is obviously untrue. But I think they think of these things like a law of nature--you can't question gravity.
Please link away! I am really interested in hearing other people's perspectives on this topic! Thanks for stopping by!
