The Screenshot Economy: Digital Proof and Social Currency

Today's episode explains an extensive analysis of The Great Screenshot Economy, arguing that digital image captures have become the primary form of social currency and proof in the modern era. The episode explains that screenshots serve multiple functions, acting as "receipts" for accountability tools in social, political, and workplace contexts, transforming from a simple archiving tool into mechanisms of digital governance and memory preservation. While acknowledging that these images offer protection and humour, it also addresses the fragility of trust caused by their ease of fabrication, noting that this phenomenon has led to increased paranoia and performative online behaviour as users fear exposure. Ultimately, this pervasive habit reflects a collective human desire to freeze fleeting moments and establish verifiable evidence in a fast-paced, digital world where information often disappears quickly.
