Leesa Dean Gives Thumbs Down to ‘Thumbs Down’
Adventures in Digital Series Land – #112
by Leesa Dean
Been so so busy I haven’t had time to do anything, which is why this post is late. Aside from everything else going on (animating/production work on new series, promos and writing a pilot), I just signed a deal with fledgling streaming VOD company Kweli TV. They fell in love with Chilltown and now it will be on their platform in HD!! So I’ve been redoing all the episodes in preparation for the launch. A ton of work.
But something really big is brewing in the digital media world and I felt I had to address it. That’s right, Facebook is planning on adding a dislike button (thumbs down) and people are going berserk. And for a good reason. Given all the trolls, schadenfreude-mongers, ill-wishers and general sh*theads that populate an average timeline, people are bracing themselves for their videos to get tons of thumbs down. To make things worse, Facebook says it’s planning on DELETING any video that has more than 10 dislikes. Talk about pressure.
When I first read about this I had, what can only be described as, a social-media take on the classic comedian’s nightmare: I dreamed I posted my latest radio show segment and all the hosts from one of the radio stations that carries the segment gave it a thumbs down. Not only by clicking the button, but also by posting a huge image of the FB thumbs down. To be fair, that joke did kind of suck.
