Digital labor, Knowledge video, Connection, Anti-connection, Social accelerationAbstract
People’s knowledge anxiety is caused by information explosion. At the same time, the development of media technology enriches the video industry. Under this background, knowledge videos have a wide audience. Taking knowledge videos as the research object, this paper adopts the interview method to analyze the practice of digital labor connection and anti-connection. It is found that the digital labor of knowledge videos can consciously eliminate over-connection, but the transition of connection-anti-connection is spiraling, and there are many forms, such as strikes and re-work. This research enriches the theoretical research of digital labor to a certain extent.
