The state of our debates on the internet with Annekathrin Kohout

Our everyday clicks are no longer insignificant actions, but have become the central arena in the battle for social interpretive power. In short: reaction is king!

Annekathrin Kohout talks to re:publicast host Jonas Ross about how algorithms specifically reward reactions, judgements and provocations, what this means for our interactions with each other, and why online communication today is so often characterised by chronic overstimulation.

How to keep track of what's going on online despite constant agitation, how digital discourse influences our interactions in the analogue world, and what we can do ourselves to contribute to a better culture of debate – that's what today's re:publicast episode is all about.
