☆ Pesky medical bill? Most people don't take a key step to manage that debt, study finds
  + stars: | 2024-09-20 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Getty ImagesConsumers may feel their medical bills are unyielding, inflexible, set in stone. About 26% of people who called because they disagreed with a charge or couldn't afford to pay it got their medical bill corrected after the outreach, according to the study, published in August. About 1 out of 5 respondents reported receiving a medical bill with which they disagreed or could not afford within the prior 12 months. How to manage medical billsConsumers should ask up front what a medical visit or procedure will cost, or inquire what the estimated cost will be, she said. Sometimes, consumers will pay "a heck of a lot less" if they pay in cash rather than via insurance, McClanahan said.

☆ Elon Musk's X has embraced porn. Now what?
  + stars: | 2024-06-05 | by ( Mia Jankowicz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Read previewElon Musk's X overhauled its sensitive media policy this week, signaling an increasing coziness with the world of adult content. Porn is already a part of twitters audiences appetite so they will have to meet (OSA) priority content duties anyway. Related storiesBut taking pornography on board so squarely ramps up concerns for X users. It's also unclear how X vets material that is posted nonconsensually, Thornhill, who has advised UK lawmakers on porn regulation, said. Earlier this year, TechCrunch also reported that Musk was toying with the idea of revitalizing X's "communities" feature, with NSFW adult content.

☆ On social-media, Black women's content is monetized and appropriated without paying tribute to the creators
  + stars: | 2024-03-05 | by ( Kara Alaimo | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
In the influencer world, Black female creators see their work co-opted without credit or apology. Kylie Jarrett, Ph.D., a scholar of media studies, refers to women content creators as "digital housewives," which is fitting because they often earn the same salary as stay-at-home moms: $0. Some of the most exploited people of all are Black women and girls who create content, then watch it get appropriated and monetized by others. They were eventually invited on the show via Zoom — but only after, you guessed it, social media outcry . The experience is so common among Black creators that in the summer of 2021, they went on strike to protest the practice of appropriating their work .

☆ Why marginalized content creators will likely be the most affected by tech industry turmoil
  + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Jordan Parker Erb | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
But today, we're talking about another group of people who will be affected by the recent tumult: content creators. The chaos at social media companies is hurting the most vulnerable content creators. Tumult is sweeping Big Tech, with thousands of full-time employees affected by industry layoffs. But some of the biggest losers from the shake-up will be the content creators who have fashioned careers on social media. That's particularly the case for marginalized creators, says Duffy, who's spent more than a decade studying the working lives of digital cultural producers.
☆ How Big Tech Shakeup, Layoffs Leave Social-Media Creators Scrambling

Meanwhile, laborers who rely on social-media platforms for visibility, reputation burnishing, and income have been left reeling — from journalists and academics to freelancers and adult performers. Last month, a plus-size creator told me how self-censorship becomes a risk-reduction strategy for marginalized creators. As the journalist Paul Gallant argued, queer content creators face a continuous struggle to avoid "the wrath that comes from violating ever-changing and poorly explained terms of service." Even coverage of the influence on social-media creators has been more tuned in to those with the biggest followings. But the real pain from this tug-of-war for the future of social media will be felt by those who have long faced the greatest hurdles: marginalized creators.
