COVID-19’s summer surge shows no signs of slowing down - Published Aug 17, 2024

Asurge in COVID-19 infections has swept the country this summer, upending travel plans and bringing fevers, coughs and general malaise. It shows no immediate sign of slowing.

While most of the country and the federal government has put the pandemic in the rearview mirror, the virus is mutating and new variants emerging.

Even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) no longer tracks individual infection numbers, experts think it could be the biggest summer wave yet.

So far, the variants haven’t been proven to cause a more serious illness, and vaccines remain effective, but there’s no certainty about how the virus may yet change and what happens next.

The highest viral activity right now is in the West, according to wastewater data from the CDC, but a “high” or “very high” level of COVID-19 virus is being detected in wastewater in almost every state. And viral levels are much higher nationwide than they were this time last year and started increasing earlier in the summer.

Wastewater data is the most reliable method of tracking levels of viral activity because so few people test, but it can’t identify specific case numbers.

Part of the testing decline can be attributed to pandemic fatigue, but experts said it’s also an issue of access. Free at-home tests are increasingly hard to find. The government isn’t distributing them, and private insurance plans have not been required to cover them since the public health emergency ended in 2023.

COVID has spiked every summer since the start of the pandemic. Experts have said the surge is being driven by predictable trends like increased travel and extreme hot weather driving more people indoors, as well as by a trio of variants that account for nearly 70 percent of all infections. Vaccines and antivirals can blunt the worst of the virus, and hospital are no longer being overwhelmed like in the earliest days of the pandemic.

But there remains a sizeable number of people who are not up-to-date on vaccinations. There are concerns that diminished testing and low vaccination rates could make it easier for more dangerous variants to take hold.

“One of the things that’s distinctive about this summer is that the variants out there are extraordinarily contagious, so they’re spreading very, very widely, and lots of people are getting mild infections, many more than know it, because testing is way down,” said William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University.

That contagiousness means the virus is more likely to find the people most vulnerable — people over 65, people with certain preexisting conditions, or those who are immunocompromised.

In a July interview with the editor-in-chief of MedPage Today, the country’s former top infectious diseases doctor, Anthony Fauci, said people in high-risk categories need to take the virus seriously, even if the rest of the public does not.

“You don’t have to immobilize what you do and just cut yourself off from society,” Fauci said. “But regardless of what the current recommendations are, when you are in a crowded, closed space and you are an 85-year-old person with chronic lung disease or a 55-year-old person who’s morbidly obese with diabetes and hypertension, then you should be wearing a mask when you’re in closed indoor spaces.”

Schaffner said hospitalizations have been increasing in his region for at least the past five weeks, which surprised him.

“I thought probably they had peaked last week. Wrong. They went up again this week. So at least locally, we haven’t seen the peak yet. I would have expected this summer increase … to have plateaued and perhaps start to ease down. But we haven’t seen that yet,” he said.

Still, much of the country has moved on from the pandemic and is reacting to the surge with a collective shrug. COVID-19 is being treated like any other respiratory virus, including by the White House.

President Biden was infected in July. After isolating at home for several days and taking a course of the antiviral Paxlovid, he returned to campaign trial.

Biden is 81, meaning he’s considered high risk for severe infection. He received an updated coronavirus vaccine in September, but it’s not clear if he got a second one, which the CDC recommends for older Americans.

Updated vaccines that target the current variants are expected to be rolled out later this fall, and the CDC recommends everyone ages 6 months and older should receive one.

As of May, only 22.5 percent of adults in the United States reported having received the updated 2023-2024 vaccine that was released last fall and tailored to the XBB variant dominant at that time.

The immunity from older vaccines wanes over time, and while it doesn’t mean people are totally unprotected, Schaffner said, the most vulnerable should be cautious. Many people being infected now have significantly reduced immunity to the current mutated virus, but reduced immunity is better than no immunity.

People with healthy immune systems and who have previously been vaccinated or infected are still less likely to experience the more severe infections that result in hospitalization or death.

Almost “none of us are naive to COVID, but the people where the protection wanes the most are the most frail, the immunodeficient, the people with chronic underlying illnesses,” Schaffner said.

Why Does Flying Suck so Much? 

You might not believe this, but I’m old enough to remember when flying was fun.

Now I'm sure you've got your own airline horror stories, which I hope you’ll share. But what happened to make flying such a nightmare?

The answer is simple: the same things happening across most industries. In fact, a close look at airlines reveals five of the biggest problems with our economy.

Number 1: Consolidation means fewer choices.

While there were once many more airlines, a series of mergers and acquisitions over the last three decades has left only four in control of about 80% of the market.

This kind of consolidation has been happening all over the economy. For example, four companies now control 80% of all beef production, and two control over 60% of all paper products. This lack of competition has led to:

Number 2: Companies Charging More for Less

Even before recent airfare spikes, air travel was getting more expensive because of new fees for things that used to be free, like in-flight meals, checked bags, or even carry-ons.

Spirit Airlines even charges $25 to print your boarding pass at a ticket counter! It’s just a piece of paper!

One of the ugliest ad-ons is the fee some airlines charge for families to sit together. That doesn’t even cost them anything!

Airlines are leading an economy-wide trend of adding often unexpected new charges to goods and services without adding value.

And you’re getting less in return. Airlines have cut an estimated 8 inches of legroom and two inches of seat width in the last two decades. Doesn’t bother me (I’m short), but many of you may feel the squeeze.

This parallels other industries where you’re paying more for less — just look at how cereal boxes, rolls of toilet paper, and candy bars are all shrinking.

Number 3: Exploiting Workers

While their jobs have become more difficult, many flight attendants haven’t had a raise in years.

And a lot of their hardest work is totally unpaid, because most flight attendants don’t get paid during the boarding process. They’re off the clock until the plane’s doors close.

And if the flight is delayed, those are often extra hours for no extra money.

Again, this mirrors trends in the overall economy, where too many workers are pushed into unpaid overtime or made to do work or be on call during their off hours.

Number 4: The Illusion of Scarcity

Airlines pretend they have no choice but to raise prices, cut services, and limit payroll. But their profits are in the stratosphere. In the five years before the pandemic, the top 5 airlines were flush enough to pay shareholders $45 billion, largely through stock buybacks.

During the pandemic, they got a $54 billion bailout from taxpayers (you’re welcome).

In the years since, they’ve resumed flying high, with nearly $10 billion in net profit expected across the industry in 2023. They can afford to take care of workers and customers.

Whether it’s multi-millionaire movie moguls pretending they can’t afford to pay writers or a grocery chain blaming “inflation” for high prices while raking in record profits, this illusion of scarcity is a sham.

Number 5: Misdirected Rage

Instead of being mad at the people at the top, we’ve been tricked into being mad at each other. Fights have broken out over whether it’s ok to recline a seat or who gets overhead bin space. But reclining’s only an issue because airlines intentionally put the seats too close together. And bin space is only running out because they’ve made it expensive to check bags — and also risky, with the rate of lost bags doubling over the last year.

Airlines are pitting us against each other the same way billionaires and their political lackeys pit groups against each other in society, hoping we’ll blame unions or immigrants or people of other races or religions or gender identities for why it’s so hard to get ahead, and that we won’t notice how much wealth and power is in the hands of so few.

So what do we do?

A lot of these problems could be solved with tougher antitrust enforcement — which we are starting to see. The Justice Dept is suing to block JetBlue from buying Spirit Airlines. We need that kind of anti-monopoly protection across the board.

Another part of the solution is unions. Airline workers are among the wave of American workers organizing to demand better pay and working conditions.

And then there’s your power as an informed consumer. Companies get away with bad behavior when we accept their excuses that there’s just no other way to run a business. They’re counting on us not knowing what’s really going on. So share this video, and share your airline stories in the comments.

Finally, try to be a little nicer to service workers and your fellow passengers — on planes and in life. After all, we’re all on this journey together.

“Find your dream, Akira. Find the biggest one you can. Your dreams keep a man solid; don't you ever forget that.” -          Teruo Tendo, Zom 100 (Ep. 12)

“If that's the case, I think it's time I leave the village. If what Shizuka's said was true and the zombies are caused by a virus, I'll travel the country and look for a cure to it. they'll convince dad to get surgery for his hemorrhoids, yeah. Do your best to help humanity and do what you can for the world. Those were dad's last wishes after all.” -          Akira Tendo

This Toonami Trending Rundown is a double feature for June 28 & 29-30 and July 5 & 6-7, 2024, as these two weeks marked the season finale of Zom 100.

In regards to trending, during both Toonami Rewind broadcast of June 28 and July 5, #ToonamiRewind would trend in the USA. And for both nights of June 29-30 and July 6-7, #Toonami would trend in the United States alongside My Adventures with Superman and Zom 100. #Toonami would also trend on Tumblr during the latter week.

The Zom 100 manga continues on Akira, Shizuka, Kencho, and Beatrix’s storyline, which is also being published stateside by Viz Media, which is still going strong with 17 volumes and 67 chapters and counting. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when and if we’ll see a second season of the Zom 100 anime as of now. As previously mentioned, the anime saw numerous production issues and setbacks that regularly delayed the release of episodes during its original Japanese run, most notably with the final three episodes being delayed for over three months. So even if a second season is already greenlit, it’s quite understandable that the animation studio might need some time to get things back together. Nevertheless, Zom 100 sure was a fun ride, and hopefully we’ll see this show return in the future. In the meantime, feel free to check out the manga, in addition to a live action film by Netflix, that has been on their service since August 3, 2023.

This week’s feature was a game review of Animal Well, a platformer developed by Shared Memory and published by Bigmode. It received an 8/10 score.

During the Production I.G panel on the Saturday of Anime Expo 2024, the panelists revealed the voice cast of the upcoming anime adaption of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki. The English cast will include:

Abby Trott as Kirie Goshima

Robbie Daymond as Shuichi Saito

Cristina Vee as Azami Kurotani

Doug Stone as Kirie's father

Aaron LaPlante as Shuichi's father

Mona Marshall as Shuichi's mother

Max Mittelman as Katayama

As for a potential release date, In an interview with The Japan Times released on June 29, Ito revealed that “the first of four episodes is complete, and lives up to his expectations.” The article also mentioned that Uzumaki is set to air later this year. During San Diego Comic-Con, Toonami announced that Uzumaki would indeed be premiering this September 28, 2024 at 12:30 a.m., following premiere episodes of Rick and Morty: The Anime.

Speaking of Comic-Con, we also got some news regarding several original productions and acquisitions. We got a new show announcement in Rooster Fighter by Shū Sakuratani. Rick and Morty: The Anime will also be premiering on Adult Swim on August 17, with the Japanese with English subtitled version of the episode premiering on Toonami starting August 19. Lazarus by Shinichiro Watanabe will be premiering in 2025. And finally, Aniplex has announced that Toonami will be airing Demon Slayer’s Swordsmith Village arc on August 10 at midnight, with successive episodes airing on 12:30 a.m, at least until September 28.

Crunchyroll has revealed a new trailer, key visual, and release date for the third and final season of Fire Force. Season 3 will be split into two cours (roughly around 24-26 episodes combined), the first half premiering in April 2025, while the second premieres in January 2026. In terms of trending, #FireForce would trend in the USA as a result.

As I attended San Diego Comic-Con in person, unfortunately, we’re running a bit behind on posting the most recent trending rundowns. We’ll have the trending rundown for the rest of July, featuring the season finale of My Adventures with Superman, up in the coming days. And be sure to tune in tonight for the premiere of Demon Slayer’s Swordsmith Village arc. Until next time, stay gold, be sure to register to vote for this year’s elections if you’re eligible and haven’t already, and let’s go Team USA.

Tomorrow X Together draws cheers and tears from K-pop fans at Lollapalooza

After a 2022 set that one member remembers as ‘meaningful, memorable,’ the boy band moves up to headliner with singing and choreography that was clearly well-rehearsed.

Lollapalooza has really been going for a piece of the K-pop pie the past two years as the genre takes a hold on America. According to NPR, the U.S. is one of the biggest importers of Korean pop music, just behind Japan and China — and if the screaming crowds at Lollapalooza 2023 are any indication of larger trends, it’s here to stay.

Tomorrow x Together made history at the festival again Saturday as the first South Korean boy band to headline the event (following BTS member J-Hope, who was the first South Korean artist to headline in 2022, and NewJeans, who played Thursday, notable for being the first Korean girl group to play the festival).

Tomorrow x Together also famously played the fest in 2022, at Perry’s Stage, though the group’s performance Saturday was a major upgrade. The five members remarked on the back-to-back appearances, saying, “It’s such an honor to be here again. … Chicago is a very special place for Tomorrow X Together,” and adding, “It reminds us of last year, one of the most meaningful, memorable concerts we’ve performed.” 

The act prepared in earnest for the occasion, earlier in the week, sharing footage of rehearsals on TikTok. The singing and choreography were on par for the main event and had many dedicated fans dancing right along with their every step. As the video cameras panned over people in the crowd, they settled on one person who made a handmade poster that said she had traveled 2,000-plus miles to see TXT.

Also enhancing the set was a crew of talented backup dancers and a band of four musicians, who each got their own dedicated intro on video screens (a nice gesture given that K-pop bands often introduce themselves at their shows).

Most notable of the song selections was “Happy Fools” in which the band was joined by special guest Coi Leray who appears as a featured collaborator on the track. Wearing a cropped “I (Heart) TXT” T-shirt, Leray was just as animated as the boy band and twerked her way through the song.

Other highlights included “Can’t You See Me?” with a good round of fireball pyrotechnics, “Thursday’s Child Has Far to Go” with the whole crowd waving light sticks in unison and the slowed-down ballad “Blue Spring,” written as an ode to their fans, which naturally had many faces crying.

End of Year Review 2023

It is currently Christmas Eve-Eve at the time of this writing, which can mean only one thing; The End of Year Review for 2023. These past three years held a lot of significant changes and growth for me, most of which I likely wouldn't have experienced had I remained in that horrible part of the mid-west. Despite the mass 'rona pandemic and the constant mental health battles/challenges, 2020-2022 were very good to me and I consider them the best years of my life.

2023 is a welcoming addition to that train.

The first major reason were the goals I set at the end of 2022, all of which were achieved without fail (to a point);

I continued making animated shorts, but only produced 2. However, this was a good glow up year for The Boris Blobinski Show! I got to manage a smaller production team, consisting of my talented friends, and together we banged out a beautifully animated episode!

I got my contact lenses! However I haven't really worn them since I left the optometrist's office. I still intend on using these for when I go swimming or to the spa, but I can see why some people aren't crazy about this option.

I finally got my hair dyed, and it wound up being a vibrant cherry red. Had it done back in March, and most of my hair is still pretty red despite the roots coming in.

Been losing a small chunk of weight still, which means I was able to convert to smaller shirt and pants sizes.

I did a lot more exploring this year! I finally secured my Californian rite of passage by visiting In-N-Out burger, discovered a couple awesome local bakeries, and went to the movies for the first time in years. First major achievement was going to Universal for the first time ever and visiting Nintendo Land! The second biggest crowning achievement was the daytrip to The Ventura Harbor in April, where I got to board a small wildlife sea cruise and witness dolphins, whales, sea lions and seals.

I got back to working on comics again, and produced two short stories for a larger collective that is still in production. Second major reason were the events that weren't planned out of the gate, but were absolutely welcomed;

I saved enough money to get a new desktop PC built. My friend from Colorado flew down and spent the week with me, partially to help get the PC built to proper standards and to also spend some quality time together in person.

I started freeway driving practice mid-year; taking smaller steps to feel more comfortable driving in the faster/wider lanes without having my PTSD invoked. I have a long way to go, but even driving within a 5 mile radius is still worth celebrating, especially since I've actively avoided freeway driving for most of my life.

My best friend is finally coming to visit me at the end of December! I have not seen them in person since 2016, and it will be their first time visiting my apartment space as well.

As far as plans for 2024 go, here's what I have on the docket;

I will be going to an actual jury duty selection at the end of January for the first time. (Exciting, I know!) I'm curious to see what the process is like, but I hope I can dismiss myself from the proceedings. (Respectfully, of course.)

I plan on hosting another friend visit me around the Spring/Summer.

I will be working on a very ambitious episode of The Boris Blobinski show that will take up most of the first quarter of my year.

I will continue my weight loss regimen as I have started back in 2021. As of this writing I am now down to 186 lbs. This is actually pretty close to my first goal, but I want to continue this trend until I hit between 135-140.

I still want to do more local travel and discover new venues. I'm eyeballing Downtown Ventura and will likely add a few more intended places to my list.

Attend activity based events like Life Drawing and other art related functions. As an artist, it's important I find different means to shake the rust off of my skills, and as a human I need to start making efforts in social connections again.

Continue freeway driving practice to the point where I can actually go beyond 5 miles comfortably.

Continue working on my one shot comics, see if I can at least produce two more stories before building a website/platform to host them all.

Outside of Boris Blobinski, I want to be more active in the animation space again and make a few more originals outside of that project.

Lastly, I want to look into Toon Boom Harmony official Certification. I've worked with the program for over 10 years, both for traditional hand-drawn animation and character rigging, and I would love to have that piece of recognition. Hell, I am not against the idea of applying as an instructor if I can get that far!

Of course I don't think I'll be able to jump into everything as intended. I know 2024 will also be met with some unexpected surprises, but I'll gladly welcome them all the same. And lastly, before we pull the plug on this, I want to thank everyone involved in my life that has made 2023 a fantastic experience. You know who you are.

Adapting to Changing Travel Trends: Maximizing Travel Experience

In recent years, there have been significant shifts in the travel trends. The once exclusive practice of tourism has evolved into a popular entertainment and tourism trend with affordable travel and a rich cultural heritage. The travel business has seen a significant transformation because to new technologies like digital platforms, which give visitors access to advice and recommendations from other travelers as well as locals.

For the past 5 years, here are some of the biggest travel trends in 2019 including the Regenerative Travel which are the challenges of sustainable tourism have drawn attention, which focuses on striking a balance between financial advantages and environmental and societal benefits. Secondly, the B-Leisure Trips which means leisure and business blends together became increasingly popular. While business travelers saw the in-flight experience as a means of leisure and time off, they also often viewed the airport as a nice place to work.

Micro-vacations, sometimes referred to as mini-vacations, have grown in popularity since 2019. These quick getaways provide travelers with instant happiness and relaxation, enabling them to make wonderful memories and depart with favorable impressions. The next one is the Insta-Holidays, travel planning in 2019 was greatly helped by Instagram, particularly for Gen Z travelers. Last but not the least travel trend for the past 5 years is the Wellness Travel, which describes travel experiences that seek to enhance and maintain health in a range of areas of human being, such as the physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

For the next and possible travel trends that we expected, the first one is the Home Swapping, is a more cost-effective option to booking expensive hotels or Airbnbs when travel expenses keep rising. The second one is the Eco Diving, the Reef-World Foundation, a UK marine ecology nonprofit, discovered in 2022 that 95% of divers desired to make reservations with sustainable operators but found it difficult to do so.

Sports Tourism, the Olympic and Paralympic Games serve as the main event of the 2024 sporting calendar. The fourth is the Coolcationing that the year 2023 is declared the hottest on record. Family vacations are especially well-suited to cooler weather.  The last possible travel trend for the next 5 years is the Gig-Tripping that for many years, the main attractions at retreats were athletes and wellness experts. Taylor Swift is the main reason for the more than 50% increase in destination concert business, according to Janel Carnero, travel advisor at Embark Beyond.

As a tourist in tourism industry, we should expect that we can have more technological and advanced travel trends that a tourist can surely enjoy now and in the future.

media release: THOUSANDS OF BY:D FANS ACROSS SOUTHEAST ASIA UNITE FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE FAN MEET CONCERT WITH K-POP STAR, BANG YE-DAM, IN KUALA LUMPUR

It was pure electric energy and raw emotion at the power of a thousand fans conveying in all shades of preppy summer denim and music festival neon glitter faces at Zepp KL to celebrate South East Asia’s beloved heartthrob and Kpop sensation – singer, song-writer and producer, BANG YE-DAM.

Dressed in blue, glowing skin, irresistible charm and impeccable vocals, the chart-bursting star set the stage blaze delivering an unforgettable fan meet cum mini concert that drew thousands of passionate fans from Malaysia and across far South East Asia. From Jakarta to Bangkok, Manila to Singapore, dedicated supporters flew in from all corners of the region to witness the star's first solo BE YOUR D’ fan meet concert in Malaysia, creating an atmosphere of pure crazed euphoria. With earlier fan-meet stop-overs in Manila and Bangkok, Bang Ye-dam shared that Malaysia was “the best audience” he had emotionally connected with.

Greeted by unified screams that bounced off the packed auditorium walls with repeated encores for more, Ye-dam delivered one hit after another, singing his originals as well as popular covers, interacting with the media and fans like a true seasoned professional despite his young years. The star was at ease and in good vibes spirits stepping off-stage a couple of times to mingle with his fans, pose for selfies, shake hands without breaking a note mid-song and taking the energy of his screaming fans to stage, all in the same stride. Fans simply couldn’t have enough of him!

The evening kicked off with a high-octane solo performance of some of Ye-dam’s biggest hits and ballads like 'Miss You,' 'Only You,' 'Hate That I Love You,’ which also included the star’s most popular Come to Me' (from the debut EP Only One’/2023) which turned into an anthem for the entire evening, sending the crowd into a frenzy from the very first note. The young star showcased his vocal prowess and undeniable stage presence, captivating the audience with a mix of energetic dance tracks, heartfelt ballads and fan-centric on-stage interactive games that resonated deeply with his audiences.

One of the highlights of the fan meet was a special Media Q&A session which also included on-stage autograph interactions for lucky VIP fans who had the chance to meet Ye-dam personally. The star’s candid and playful interactions combined with his sincere gratitude for the unwavering support, left the audience cheering and emotional in equal measure. Ye-dam shared he never imagined his life doing anything else but “as a singer doing what I love most - music. I like to capture and deliver emotions to my fans the same way I feel them whilst writing or singing my songs. My music is all about good vibes. I’m grateful that I have good mentors around me who also ensure my well-being as an artist,” Ye-dam shared candidly during the Q&A.

As a special surprise, Bang Ye-dam performed an impromptu Malay track exclusive for his Kuala Lumpur fans, showcasing his continued evolution as an artist. The star himself also received a surprise onstage while being presented with a satin sky blue Baju Melayu,’ as a token to remember that Malaysia loves the Kpop star. The crowd erupted in applause with many fans expressing their excitement on social media, making #BangYeDam trend across multiple platforms.

The event reached its emotional peak during the encore, where Ye-dam expressed his heartfelt thanks to the fans from Malaysia and those who travelled far and wide to attend. He shared his deep appreciation for their loyalty and promised to return to Southeast Asia soon, to even louder encores and applause.

The fan meet concert was not just a musical experience but a testament to the powerful bond between Bang Ye-dam and his fans resulting in star encores over three times, as Ye-dam finally bowed out withOnly One.’ The event concluded with every single audience member getting onstage to share a personal `hi-five’ with the star, followed by fan photo sessions and leaving everyone with memories that will last a lifetime.

Chief Executive Officer, LOL Asia, Rizal Kamal shared excitedly,

“We are happy to host an incredible talent such as Bang Ye-dam and give his fans in Malaysia an opportunity to connect with him. LOL ASIA strives to create the best fan experiences and hope to continue to improve the customer-artiste journey when attending our shows.”

This unforgettable evening in Kuala Lumpur marks a significant milestone in Bang Ye-dam’s career as he continues to make his mark on the global stage. Fans eagerly await his new album with excitement already building for what’s to come.

What's the vibe? #54

Supreme is collaborating with MM6.

Cote D'Ivoire won AFCON on Sunday.

2024 LVMH Semi Finalists have been announced.

NYFW FW24:

I think this is slowly becoming my favourite Fashion Week - away from the hype and conglomerate madness, it's about the weird, the experimental.

INTERVENTION: Mall of Anonymous  (Berlin btw) by Shayne Oliver featuring Anonymous Club, Olly Shinder `refucked by NOVACAINE,´ a selection of Hood By Air ‘MUSEUM’ archive pieces and Gerrit Jacob. Presented by Reference Studios as part of Berlin Fashion Week, set design by Tor Studio.

Sandy Liang - 10th year anniversary of the brand - it's about going from girlhood to womanhood

Helmut Lang - again Peter creates another collection about the immigrant experience - the Ghana Must Go prints, the bubble wrap texture, the body as a travelling vessel - protect and project

Collina Strada - titled "STRONGER" - pushing back against maybe weaker depictions of women

Proenza Schouler

Eckhaus Latta - beauty by Daniel Sallstrom

About the self - some text from their show notes

I WANT TO PREACH WITHOUT SPEAKING

AND NO LONGER FEEL

THE TIGHTENING OF MY CHEST

WHEN THE IDEA OF TIME

COMES INTO MY BODY

HOLDING THE DOOR FOR A GHOST

IN THE TECHNOCRACY

IT IS ALL SPINNING

THE HOLES ARE GOOD

(HOW MANY HOLES IS TOO MANY HOLES?)

YOU LIKE THESE HOLES?"

Things to look forward to culturally?

Beyonce! Going cowboy!

Museum as performance space - gaining legitimacy in one of a kind performances in a unique setting. I guess similar to what the ICA are doing but they're getting the good stuff in terms of curation.

I think that alongside the high costs of everything, the audience that artists have to deal with today are much more either segregated class-wise or not used to seeing continuous art and being able to evaluate it/ seeing it as a "little treat". (see for example: The TikTok kids who saw Steve Lacy or Mitski's current tour) For example, think of any major exhibition today in the UK and the cost of tickets usually range between £16-20 esp London. Meaning people usually see the extremely popular things that have been tried and tested and the more experimental/local/DIY things are left behind. It also means that the general public's tolerance for maybe I'd say the "Avant Garde" has decreased over the past 10 years. If TV is the most accessible medium, think about what's on regular tv sans Netflix (which is already extremely sanitised)...there's this extreme lack of maybe kooky music/culture programming that explores and interviews artists of the day in an accessible way or just regular toned programming which allows people to know about each other (See Raven's Row exhibition from last year?)

Top ten predictions for the video account ecosystem!

In the WeChat open class the day before yesterday, I talked about several key points about video accounts. Where are the dividends  HE Tuber  of video accounts? Where are the growth opportunities for the brand? This article will continue to summarize the top ten predictions for video accounts in 2024, let’s take a look.

The day before yesterday was the WeChat open class, and the video account was still the well-deserved protagonist.

I was shocked: first, the enthusiasm for making money in the South, and second, the potential of the video account. Judging from the huge crowds at the conference, it looks like a large-scale Spring Festival travel festival. The picture below is the most powerful interpretation of the video account bonus.

Last year, in our article "Top Ten Predictions for the Video Account Ecosystem in 2023", we predicted that the commercialized closed-loop infrastructure facilities, the advertising algorithm emphasizing the back link, more and more ToBs choose to deepen their cultivation, and the main battlefield of the clue industry have all been accomplish.

Of course, there are a few slaps in the face. For example, we believe that cultural live broadcasts have become a feature, and anchors are no longer signboards but brand owners. This seems to be too advanced and will take time to be realized.

Comfort yourself, courage is the most valuable! Continuing the top ten predictions of the video account in 2024, this time we strive for a higher reliability factor.

01 The “account making party” has fully poured into the video account

Possibility index: 95%

Why does this rank first? Because content is the absolute cornerstone.

In various reviews over the past year, the biggest feature of video account content is "growth". There are often dark horses with new accounts on the list, which is almost impossible on other platforms.

The main reason is that the social nature of video accounts is so powerful. If one person likes it, a group of people will like it. Kantar’s research data shows that when encountering high-quality content, 77% of users will choose to like it, 60% of users will choose to forward it, and 53% of users will choose to click the thumbs-up button. The current video accounts are very similar to the public accounts around 2015, and they are very worthy of being cultivated by the account-making party.

Especially after the second half of 2023, we found that many content creators will no longer transfer content from other platforms, but will make specially customized content, and may even form "hot content memes for video accounts".

Based on this, we predict that in 2024, the number-making parties that are truly deeply involved in different industries will have another opportunity to start from scratch.

02 The surge in investment players

Possibility index: 85%

Also starting from the second half of 2023, various training camps began to teach you how to invest in video accounts. This trend shows that more and more brands/individuals who want to grow are interested in investing in video accounts.

For each platform, there are two types of gameplay: underwater (relying on operations and free traffic) and above water (paying traffic to obtain traffic). Generally, they are matched with each other, and the natural flow starts and the traffic amplifies.

Why do we think 2024 is the key year for streaming players? This is determined by the current ecological competition.

On the one hand, there are indeed universal cyclical dividends for video accounts in various sub-categories; on the other hand, with the integration and improvement of the platform data system, streaming has become more and more accurate; there is another point worth mentioning Unfortunately, competition across the entire network has intensified, traffic on many platforms has peaked, gross profits and net profits have generally declined, and streaming costs have been overwhelmed. In order to maintain stable growth, they began to shift their streaming volume to video accounts.

In the video account ecosystem, the consumption habits of high-priced users have begun to be continuously cultivated.

Different from the live broadcast e-commerce strategy of 9.9 yuan to capture users, most groups immersed in video accounts are less sensitive to price than other platforms, which pushes up the overall customer unit price of video account e-commerce. . According to Cass data, the return rate of video accounts is between 20% and 40%. Taking clothing as an example, the return rate is within 30%, which is much lower than other platforms.

Some brands even believe that the understanding and trust of regular private customers in the brand makes the repurchase rate higher and the return rate lower than other platforms. Only then can they have the confidence to sell genuine-priced products on the video account, and the price cannot be lower than that of other platforms. 10% off the tag price." Having the confidence to carry out this kind of operation is unique among e-commerce companies that mainly focus on low-price strategies, which further illustrates the "high customer order" and brand stickiness of video account users.

The relevant person in charge of Jingrun Pearl once shared such a set of data: "On other platforms, the unit price per customer is 600 to 800 yuan, but on the video account, the unit price can reach 1,000 to 1,200 yuan or even higher, and there are some orphan products. Everything will be sold.”

There is a certain cost profit margin, and the paid streaming methodology is mature.

Therefore, in 2024, streaming players will take advantage of the time when WeChat streaming is still not expensive and the competition is not big to fully enter, plan in advance, familiarize themselves with the platform algorithm, draw accurate user portraits, secure a stable base of regular customers, and find leverage Leverage for new customers.

03 Mutual selection becomes a marketing component, and the master’s income increases by 300%

Possibility index: 70%

Brands that have contacted public accounts will regard "mutual selection" as a talisman to prevent advertisements from being restricted, but mutual selection in video accounts carries a more important commercial mission.

Especially when a major brand event breaks out, you can use the mutual selection platform to conduct a second interpretation of the brand event, so that every audience can understand the advertisement and achieve long-term brand mental penetration.

At the same time, it can be combined with the video account heating tool to greatly improve the marketing effect of the brand; and after mutual selection, the link products and data capabilities will also have the opportunity to further iterate in 2024, for the brand's subsequent investment retention, direct monetization, private domain retention, etc. Choice offers possibilities.

Based on the various gameplay and traffic subsidies of mutual selection of video accounts in 2024, it is predicted that the number of brands that cooperate through mutual selection will double compared with 2023, and the overall income of video account mutual selection masters can increase by 300%.

04 E-commerce GMV increased by 200%

70% probability

The "upper limit" of video accounts is getting higher and higher.

In 2021, the GMV of video accounts’ live broadcast of goods will increase by more than 15 times; in 2022, the GMV of video accounts’ live broadcast of goods will increase by more than 8 times year-on-year.

According to fresh data from yesterday's WeChat open class, in 2023, the GMV of live broadcasts of video accounts will continue to grow rapidly, with the supply quantity increasing by 300%, the number of orders increasing by 244%, and the GPM (transaction amount per thousand views) exceeding 900+.

Because the base is already very high, in 2024, we predict that the video account e-commerce market will grow by 200%.

The Future of E - Commerce: Trends to Watch in 2023

Welcome to the future of e-commerce! As we step into 2023, the online shopping landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. From virtual reality-powered shopping experiences to drone deliveries and personalized AI assistants, there’s no denying that technology is reshaping the way we buy and sell goods. In this blog post, we will explore the most exciting trends that are set to revolutionize e-commerce in 2023 and beyond. So fasten your seatbelts as we take a thrilling ride through what lies ahead for online retail – get ready to be amazed by what’s on the horizon!

Introduction To The Growing Popularity Of E-Commerce

E-commerce, or the buying and selling of goods and services online, has become a major player in the global economy. With technology advancing at a rapid pace, it is no surprise that the popularity of e-commerce is also on the rise. In fact, according to Statista, e-commerce sales are projected to reach $4.9 trillion by 2021.

One of the main reasons for the growing popularity of e-commerce is its convenience. With just a few clicks, consumers can purchase products from the comfort of their own home and have them delivered right to their doorstep. This eliminates the need to physically go to a brick-and-mortar store and wait in long lines at checkout counters.

Another factor contributing to the rise of e-commerce is its accessibility. With smartphones becoming an essential part of our daily lives, people now have access to online shopping platforms anytime and anywhere. This makes it easier for consumers to make purchases on-the-go and increases impulse buying.

Furthermore, e-commerce offers a wider variety of products compared to traditional retail stores. Consumers can find almost anything they need online – from clothing and electronics to groceries and even services such as travel bookings or food delivery. This allows for greater consumer choice and enables businesses to reach a larger audience.

In addition, many retailers have embraced e-commerce as a way to expand their business globally without having physical stores in different locations. E-commerce removes geographical barriers and allows businesses to sell their products internationally with ease.

Current Trends In E-Commerce

1. Current State of E-Commerce Industry: The world of e-commerce has seen rapid growth in recent years, and it shows no signs of slowing down. According to Statista, global e-commerce sales are projected to reach $4.9 trillion by 2021, with an estimated 2.14 billion online shoppers worldwide.

2. Mobile Commerce is on the Rise: One of the biggest trends in e-commerce is the increasing use of mobile devices for online shopping. With the rise of smartphones and tablets, more and more customers are choosing to make purchases on their mobile devices rather than traditional desktop computers. In fact, a study by Statista found that 72% of all e-commerce transactions will be made on a mobile device by 2021.

3. Personalization and Customization: With so much competition in the e-commerce industry, companies are looking for ways to stand out and provide a unique shopping experience for their customers. This has led to a focus on personalization and customization, where businesses use customer data to tailor product recommendations, marketing messages, and even website layouts based on individual preferences.

4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: AI technology is being integrated into various aspects of e-commerce, from chatbots that assist customers with inquiries to advanced algorithms that predict customer behavior and optimize pricing strategies. Machine learning allows businesses to analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, providing valuable insights into consumer trends and preferences.

– Rise Of Mobile Commerce

Mobile commerce, also known as m-commerce, has been steadily on the rise in recent years and is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the future. With the increasing use of smartphones and other mobile devices, consumers are now able to shop and make purchases anytime and anywhere. As a result, businesses across industries are shifting their focus towards optimizing their online presence for mobile devices.

One of the main driving forces behind the rise of mobile commerce is convenience. With just a few taps on their phone screens, consumers can easily browse through products, compare prices, and make purchases without having to leave their homes or offices. This convenience factor has made m-commerce a popular choice among busy individuals who have limited time for traditional shopping methods.

Another contributing factor to the growth of mobile commerce is the advancement of technology in terms of faster internet speeds and improved user experiences. With high-speed mobile data networks such as 4G and 5G becoming more widespread, consumers no longer have to wait for long loading times or deal with connectivity issues while shopping on their phones. Additionally, many businesses have invested in creating user-friendly mobile apps and websites that provide a seamless shopping experience for customers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also played a significant role in accelerating the adoption of m-commerce. With lockdowns and restrictions worldwide limiting physical shopping options, consumers turned to online channels including mobile commerce for their everyday needs. This surge in demand for online shopping during the pandemic further highlighted the importance of having a strong mobile commerce strategy for businesses.

– Personalization And Artificial Intelligence

E-commerce has come a long way in the past few years, and it is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs and expectations of consumers. One of the major driving forces behind this evolution is the use of personalization and artificial intelligence (AI) in e-commerce. In fact, these two concepts are expected to play an even bigger role in shaping the future of e-commerce. Let’s take a deeper look at what personalization and AI mean for the world of online shopping.

 Personalization in E-Commerce:

Personalization refers to tailoring a consumer’s experience based on their specific preferences, behaviors, and characteristics. With the rise of big data and advanced analytics tools, e-commerce businesses now have access to vast amounts of customer data that can be used to personalize their offerings.

One way that e-commerce businesses are using personalization is through targeted marketing strategies. By analyzing customer data such as browsing history, purchase history, demographics, and social media interactions, businesses can create personalized marketing campaigns that cater to each individual’s interests and needs.

Another aspect of personalization in e-commerce is product recommendations. Using algorithms based on customer data, personalized product recommendations can be shown on a website or app homepage or during checkout. This not only makes it easier for customers to find products they might be interested in but also increases the chances of making a sale by providing relevant suggestions.

– Social Media Shopping

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, and it’s no surprise that it has also revolutionized the way we shop. Social media shopping, or social commerce, is a growing trend in the e-commerce world that is changing the way businesses interact with their customers and sell their products.

What is Social Media Shopping?

Social media shopping refers to the process of buying products directly from social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter. It eliminates the need for consumers to visit a separate website to make a purchase; instead, they can buy directly within their favorite social media app.

With the rise of influencer marketing and user-generated content on social media, consumers are increasingly turning to these platforms for product recommendations and reviews. This has made it easier for businesses to reach their target audience through targeted advertising and strategic partnerships with influencers.

The Rise of Shoppable Posts

One of the main ways social media shopping is facilitated is through shoppable posts. These are posts on social media platforms that have integrated product tags which allow users to click on them and be directed to a page where they can purchase the featured product.

Shoppable posts have become popular because they provide a seamless shopping experience for consumers without disrupting their browsing or scrolling on social media. They also allow businesses to showcase their products in an organic way rather than traditional intrusive advertisements.

Emerging Technologies And Their Impact On E-Commerce

The world of e-commerce is constantly evolving, and with new technologies emerging at a rapid pace, the landscape of online shopping is set to change even further. In this section, we will explore some of the most exciting technologies that are shaping the future of e-commerce and their potential impact on the industry.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI): Artificial intelligence has already made a significant impact in various industries, and it’s now starting to shape the world of e-commerce as well. AI-powered chatbots are being used by many online businesses to provide personalized customer service and enhance the overall shopping experience. These chatbots can handle basic customer inquiries, recommend products based on customer preferences, and even complete transactions without any human intervention.

Moreover, AI technology is also being used for product recommendations. By analyzing customers’ browsing behavior and purchase history, AI algorithms can suggest products that are most likely to be of interest to them. This not only improves the customer experience but also increases sales for businesses.

2. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): Augmented reality refers to overlaying digital images onto real-world environments, while virtual reality creates an entirely immersive digital environment for users. Both AR and VR have been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly in the retail sector.

Many e-commerce businesses have started using AR technology to allow customers to try out products virtually before making a purchase decision.

– Virtual And Augmented Reality

Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) are rapidly emerging technologies that have the potential to revolutionize the e-commerce industry. These technologies offer immersive, interactive experiences that can significantly enhance the customer shopping journey. According to research by Goldman Sachs, VR/AR is predicted to become an $80 billion market by 2025, with a significant portion of this growth coming from e-commerce.

So, what exactly are virtual and augmented reality? Virtual reality refers to a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real way through specialized equipment such as headsets or gloves. On the other hand, augmented reality involves overlaying digital content onto the real world using devices like smartphones or tablets.

One major advantage of VR/AR in e-commerce is its ability to bridge the gap between online and offline shopping experiences. With these technologies, customers can try on clothes virtually before making a purchase or see how furniture will look in their home without having to physically visit a store. This boosts convenience for shoppers while reducing returns and increasing overall satisfaction.

Moreover, VR/AR has immense potential for personalization in e-commerce. By creating virtual stores tailored to individual preferences and behaviors, brands can provide highly personalized shopping experiences for their customers. For instance, imagine browsing through an online store where products are displayed based on your past purchases or interests – this level of customization not only makes shopping more efficient but also enhances customer loyalty.

– Voice Commerce

With the rise of voice assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple’s Siri, voice commerce is quickly becoming the next big trend in e-commerce. Voice commerce refers to the process of using voice commands to make purchases through a smart speaker or other voice-enabled device.

The convenience and ease of use offered by voice commerce are what makes it so attractive to consumers. Instead of having to browse through websites or open multiple apps on their phones, users can simply speak their order out loud and have it delivered directly to their doorstep.

One of the key benefits of voice commerce is its ability to streamline the purchasing process. With traditional e-commerce, customers often have to go through several steps before making a purchase – from finding the product they want, adding it to their cart, and entering payment details. With voice commerce, however, these steps are significantly reduced. Users can simply tell their virtual assistant what they want and complete the transaction within seconds.

Another advantage of voice commerce is its potential for increased personalization. As more people use these devices in their homes on a daily basis, companies will have access to valuable data about consumer behavior and preferences. This data can be used to tailor personalized recommendations and offers based on individual shopping habits.

– Drones And Autonomous Delivery

The rise of e-commerce has led to an increasing demand for faster and more efficient delivery methods. This has given rise to the use of drones and autonomous vehicles for last-mile deliveries in the e-commerce industry.

Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have been used for military purposes for decades, but in recent years they have gained popularity in the commercial sector. With advancements in technology, drones are now able to carry packages weighing up to several pounds and deliver them directly to a customer’s doorstep.

One of the main advantages of using drones for delivery is their speed. Unlike traditional delivery methods which involve navigating through traffic and roadblocks, drones can fly directly from the distribution center to the customer’s location, cutting down delivery times significantly. This is particularly beneficial for urgent or time-sensitive deliveries.

Moreover, drone delivery can also be cost-effective. As they do not require a human driver or fuel costs, companies can save on labor and transportation expenses. This is especially beneficial for smaller businesses that may not have large budgets for shipping costs.

Another emerging trend in e-commerce delivery is the use of autonomous vehicles such as self-driving cars and trucks. These vehicles are equipped with sensors, cameras, and advanced software that allow them to navigate through roads and traffic without human intervention.

Autonomous vehicles offer similar benefits as drones when it comes to fast and efficient deliveries. They can operate 24/7 without rest breaks or limitations due to weather conditions.

The world of e-commerce has been rapidly evolving and expanding in recent years, with the COVID-19 pandemic only accelerating this growth. As we look towards the future, it is clear that e-commerce will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the way we shop and do business. In this section, we will explore some predictions for 2023 that will likely shape the future of e-commerce.

1. Increased Integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) The use of AR and VR technologies in the e-commerce industry is expected to see significant growth in the coming years. These technologies allow consumers to have a more immersive shopping experience by virtually trying on products or visualizing how furniture or home decor items would look in their space. This not only enhances customer engagement but also reduces product returns, as customers can make more informed purchasing decisions.

2. Rise of Voice Commerce With the increasing popularity of virtual assistants like Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant, voice commerce is expected to become a major trend in 2023. Consumers can already use these devices to order products online, but advancements in natural language processing are expected to make voice-based shopping even more seamless and personalized.

3. Growth of Social Commerce Social media platforms have become an important tool for businesses to reach potential customers and engage with their target audience. In 2023, social media platforms are predicted to further integrate with e-commerce through features such as “buy” buttons directly on posts or shoppable ads within users’

Conclusion

As we look towards the future of e-commerce, it is clear that technology will continue to play a major role in shaping the industry. From advancements in AI and virtual reality to the rise of social media shopping and personalized experiences, there are many exciting trends on the horizon. It is crucial for businesses to stay informed and adapt to these changes in order to remain competitive in this ever-evolving market.
