Article Evaluation
I'm evaluating the Article "Remix Culture" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remix_culture) I would start by saying it was a nice article to read. In the sense that there were nice pieces of information that had very strong points. The article goes everywhere with the topic, to the point it becomes difficult to follow the main idea. The images distracted me, seeing a Mona Lisa with a fake mustache drawn with the pen makes me think of fraud not remix culture. The folklore 14th-century conversation then modern era flip just makes me wonder what happened between those several centuries. Nonetheless, there were a lot of distractions for me in this article. The article definitely has a bias, an understandable bias for a creator or someone who enjoys the culture. There also should be a look at how remix culture can be bad depending on how the person relates authenticity and fraud. For example, If I make a video and you repost it with a different background song, did you remix my video, or is that fraud. There's a thin line between what is authentically unique and what is someone trying to create revenue. There are a decent number of citations and references and a handful of links. This is troublesome in my eyes because with all these sources and synapses of what the culture is, this article reads more like a self-reflection than a break down of what remix culture is. I feel that the jump from folklore to modern really left out information that is essential when trying to defend remix culture. I am an individual who agrees with remix cultures benefits in creativity but sees the negatives it can bring to the creator. That being said, it's important to look at a topic critically. I think what was most interesting was seeing everyone else's feedback, everyone agrees that the subject is of the High or Top level of importance. The article was rated a C Class by others, and I have to agree. It has the framework of a compelling article and seems like it can hit a lot of places. Yet the article has to flush out those points to give us a better understanding of why we should even care about remix culture.
