My Life In Posting: Matt Muir [PREVIEW]

Ten Thousand Posts

This is a preview of a bonus episode. Listen to the full episode at : www.patreon.com/10kpostspodcast
-------

Writer and curator Matt Muir comes on the show this week to talk about his life through posting.

We talk about his early message board days, the several occasions where he accidentally sent aggressive emails to the entire office by accident, and an extraordinary story of the time he tried to go on a date with a girl he met online... only to be left with a spooky message on a pub table.
We also talk about Webcurios, a project Matt runs, curating some of the most interesting and unique material online, while actively pushing back on the impulses that drive recommendation algorithms.
