An interesting view on how sponsored content on Instagram works, or, how, often this is 'Content' not 'Sponsored Content'. The article observes how this could in fact be destroying Sponsored Content and causing brand damage. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/influencers-are-faking-brand-deals/578401/

Interesting blog article from Trello:  https://blog.trello.com/remote-team-communication-cheat-sheet . I particularly like the points on: Assume positive intent Don't rely on chat decision-making Don't keep your emotions on chat ... and be real: One of the failure modes of chat is treating it like Formal Communications, since it’s editable, its record persists (up to Mandated Retention Policy Period™) effectively forever, and it can be copied and pasted or grabbed as a screenshot. As far as I can tell this ends up in folks not having real conversations, or not giving the same amount of themselves they’d otherwise give in person.
