Blog Response: Why Demassify?
KC Ciresi made a blog post about demassififcation. More specifically, why it happens.
KC explains her concerns of how maybe some important information is only reaching niche audiences because of the unwillingness to learn about other opinions.
This is a very unique point on the matter. I hadn't thought of it this way until KC pointed it out.
It is a possibility that some things demassify into niche audiences because of either the fear of being different, or negative feedback because of an unpopular opinion. This is a very interesting reason to demassify.
KC's example of a teen magazine showcasing mental health was very insightful. Parents wouldn't ever read the magazine because it's for teens, even though it has sophisticated and mature material.
Sometimes demassificaation is for the best in these scenarios though, because the teen magazine can serve as a space just for teenagers-- an escape from parents and siblings. Sometimes is good to have just a niche audience. It creates a better sense of unity in the audience.
