D: The most recent one we were talking about is race, with bloggers of color, how there doesn’t seem to be this relationship that exists with larger, billion dollar corporations and sponsorships. It’s really interesting what people are saying about algorithms. They’re like, “I don’t even see bloggers in my suggested page,” and apparently it’s based on who you already follow, who you like, so that’s an interesting conversation. There are a lot of people who will draw attention to a cause and share their opinions and they should be heard, but they are getting their comments deleted by these companies. The first step to changing this is to acknowledge the problem and they are straight up denying it. They could easily decide to use their power to increase visibility for some of these bloggers who are underrepresented. People want to create this echo chamber and I don’t know why you would want to live and function in this bubble.

P: Another issue I want to mention are the barriers to entry in the industry, how hard it can be to break in if you’re not already in. There are certain levels to which you can get internships, get design jobs, be in the right places for these talented people.
