DTA & THE CHAOS MACHINE Reading Reflection #7

Gary Vee provides many examples of content, the ones that resonated with me the most were mascots and content with multiple actions at once. I think multiple actions at once are great for viewership engagement based on my own personal interactions with social media, and mascots are fun to me.

After going through Team Yellows social medias, theres a lot that can be worked on. Number one they need a Tik Tok and they need better clarification between the three accounts, Team Yellow, YellowHAB, and YellowHUB. Between the three accounts that all look the same and have similar content with no clarfifcation to the differences in the bios it can be confusing to someone trying to learn more about Team Yellow and what they do.

I have an Idea to further Team Yellows collaboration with Lego and create a mascot. Leveraging the relationship that is already their from Pharrells Piece by Piece movie, and also an incentive for lego to give Team Yellow more funding and awareness. A lego person designed specifically for Team Yellow to represent the school is perfect because typically mascots for schools have something to do with where the school is from. Since Team yellow wishes to expand outside of Virginia having a mascot that can be used at every schools location is key. Also this is a mascot that multiple forms of content can be made with. Also having the students be apart of the design and logo creation with the mascot would make them feel more apart of the program and feel more ownership of the their school.

A quick end note in relation to the questions on the chaos machine.

Government censorship of scoial media can be very difficult to jusitified because large number of problems can be encountered. Government involvement can be justified when peoples lives and well being are at steak, when large attacks on whole communities start happening and countries decent into chaos due to miss information at some point the government needs to step in if the tech companies refuse to acknowledge their part in people dying.
