   Hi Kenneth!

   I thought your presentation was really well put together. It flowed nicely and was easy to understand, and the examples you used helped bring your points to life. I especially found your ideas about the algorithm and participation interesting. I had a few questions that came to mind:

   1. You talked about how the TikTok algorithm connects users—do you think it mostly helps communities grow, or can it also influence what kinds of communities form?

   2. I found your point about content creation really interesting. Do you think people who post (like builds or tutorials) feel more connected to the community than those who just watch?

   3. You mentioned shared identity through play styles and humour—do you think that makes the community more welcoming, or could it sometimes make it harder for new people to feel included?

   Great presentation!
