Whoa, I got deeper than expected with your observations, really interesting!
From your 2023, I thought about broad trends from the year that'll probably continue in 2024:
- a range of shifting emotions in a changing world;
- a desire for deeper and closer engagement;
- changing media & online consumption as a result, which has led to newsletters and podcasts with longform content bringing much more cozy satisfaction amongst a growing number of people;
- documentation of processes, hence stuff like behind-the-scenes content, which bigger fans appreciate, and learners get important insights/tips/tools to try themselves;
- a growing appreciation of environmental appreciation (maybe why green is everywhere!), and nostalgia;
- a desire for balance and connection, and a move (whether deliberate or coincidental) away from the big social networks...Yet that balance and connection still appears fragmented, as a concerned and confused and maybe fearful public tries to find their feet on shaky ground.
I enjoy reading about what people have learned or witnessed in retrospective lists like yours. But it doesn't usually hit in quite the macro way as this. Thank you for your curiosity! :)
What I am thinking now, is what you wrote - a range of shifting emotions nowadays, and how to deal with them, and the desire to go deeper, which almost leads to all your other points, maybe it all connect a bit as well?
