BRYAN ANDREWS : It came from Brad Winderbaum, who was like, Hey, maybe doing What If…? would be awesome?

If Content Is King, Then What Are Content Creators?
Opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views of Rolling Stone editors or publishers. Over 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute according to findings from 2019. Over 60,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every single day. It seems that anyone can be a content creator, music artist or video director. The media creation formula has been completely democratized. This shift has started an explosion of new, innovative content. With all this content, there is now a burden on consumers — “analysis paralysis” is real. So much so, that platforms like TikTok have also boomed in popularity, where the end-user receives an algorithmically generated feed that automatically adjusts to their interactions. Users are spoon-fed content, and all they have to do is scroll and watch. We have all been there: hypnotically scrolling for hours on end, captivated by new media and comments. The “mindless doom scroll” solves this issue of overwhelming … [Read more...] about If Content Is King, Then What Are Content Creators?
Alabama GOP Prepares War on Transgender Teens
While her friends go on vacations and plan trips to Disney World, 14-year-old Harleigh Walker spends her free time fighting for her right to exist. In between homework and listening to Taylor Swift records, Walker sends videos and letters to Alabama lawmakers in hopes of educating them about the lives of trans youth. Her home state is currently weighing HB 266, which would prohibit gender-affirming medications from being administered to minors under the age of 19, and she took time out of her spring break this week to join activists at the Alabama State Capitol on Wednesday to lobby against the legislation. If HB 266 were to become law, Walker would immediately lose access to the medication she’s been taking for five years. Because halting treatment is not an option for her, she says her family would have to leave Alabama and start over in another state. “I’ve lived here my entire life,” Walker tells Rolling Stone . “I’d have to leave behind everything that’s … [Read more...] about Alabama GOP Prepares War on Transgender Teens
Chris Mosier on Making History as First Trans Member of Team USA
As a kid growing up in Midwest America, there was always an equal playing field for Chris Mosier. He felt confident anywhere he could score a goal, cross a finish line or make a play. The minute he stepped up to compete, the only distinction between him and any other athlete was ability. “At any point in my life, regardless if I was confused about who I was or if I didn’t know the language of what I felt, the one identifier that never changed was ‘athlete,'” he says. No matter how his hair was cut, what clothes he wore or if people called him “he” or “she” – there was no confusion about his competitive edge. But decades later, when he qualified for the 2016 Team USA roster at the sprint duathlon national championship and became the first out transgender man to make a U.S. National Team, the place where Chris Mosier’s athletic prowess was valued over his personal pronoun – that equal playing field–changed. “Suddenly, the most gratifying area of my life became the most contentious area … [Read more...] about Chris Mosier on Making History as First Trans Member of Team USA
