Re-reading Chadwick's classic work on "The Hybrid Media System" feels wild, when it shows pre-TikTok/Reels media consumption:
"By 2011 [...] Americans were watching video on a mobile phone for an average of four hours per month. These figures may be small [...] but they are still significant"

We explored language similarity between Querdenken (Telegram) and German politicians (Twitter). In short: AfD’s communication most similar, but parts of FDP and CDU/CSU also find common ground through discrediting left-wing politics.
