Quitting in the Age of News Aggregation
Weird hours, constant monitoring of traffic, an inability to explain to loved ones why you need to be on Twitter for 17 hours a day — it can just become too much for some young people working on the Internet*.
For Marina Shifrin, who works for the Taiwanese animator Next Media Animation, it was time to move on from the gentle stream of content production. So, in the most young-person-on-Internet way possible, she quit through a viral video.
Godspeed, Marina, and please Tweet back to us what the sun feels like. Still warm? Still golden?
*for me, never — more weird hours/Twitter, I say!
