Summary/Abstract: Nothing comes free. Social media can be seen as a liberating force for artists, allowing us to get an equal footing with megacorporations and super franchises in the fight for attention. I certainly felt that impact. For a while. It started with Covid. On the 12th of March 2020 the Norwegian government announced schools and workplaces would be shut down for two weeks due to Covid. On the 15th of March I got a message from an old friend on Facebook, Tarjei A. Heggernes, a strategy professor at a local business school.
