When I first heard the term, ‘produsage’, I
thought I had no idea what this was.
However, turns out, I have been witnessing
produsage since I started highschool.
Quite simply, produsage is everywhere.
Wikipedia pages are easily forged as pages are able to be created by anyone.
Many videos that are posted on youtube are that of produser’s work. Fail
videos, car stunts, nature videos, you name it – it falls under the produsage
title. Not to mention, memes and gif’s. And if you have ever accessed
reddit.com, you have witnessed with your very eyes posts after posts by people
promoting their own work.
Produsage is simply defined by the
combination of the words, ‘production’ and ‘usage’. Produsage blurs the
boundaries between passive consumption and active production.
If you have time, I would really recommend you watch the (or even some
of) the Kony video
This video has
over 96million views. It’s unbelievable the impact the work of a produser had
on social media
