## What Jamie wrote

This interview with [Erin Gallagher](https://twitter.com/3r1nG) is interesting if only to get a view into how complex the web of activity is on social networks. I think Gallagher's last comment is one to think hard about:

> Looking critically at online audiences and who or what is influencing them is a good way to frame it. I’d also go a step further: Ask yourself, ‘what audience are you in? What is the content you’re seeing everyday and sharing? Who makes it? Why are they making it?’ That’s a big ask, but it seems critical.
