Are there any books, blogs or articles you'd recommend for learning more about the online culture of Web 1.5 + what factors were driving the transformation over the 2010s into what we have now? I was online while it was happening and still don't really understand it beyond Facebook causing a bunch of websites like CollegeHumor to kill their self hosted sites due to taking views and clicks.
Hm I can’t think of sources but in terms of themes I’d look at Buzzfeed and clickbait, Gawker and the stable of feed “verticals” as a business model, and the professionalization of “feminist blogging” into identity media
