“The term ‘platform’ helps reveal how YouTube and others stage themselves for these constituencies, allowing them to make a broadly progressive sales pitch while also eliding the

tensions inherent in their service: between user-generated and commercially produced content, between cultivating

community and serving up advertising, between intervening in the delivery of content and remaining neutral.”

“Electronic music is digital music created by digital natives for consumption by digital natives.”
