In the article “The rise of nice culture and how it defines a generation”, featured in Decode magazine, journalist Yusuf Ntahilaja unfolds how Gen Zers are building communities based on shared interests, and opening up spaces to connect, collaborate and communicate.
How the word “community” is becoming a marketing buzz
As brands become obsessed with building community, consuming becomes an emotional transaction in which “members” are asked to become fans on social media, contribute to private chat channels and attend in-person events. In this Vox article, Terry Nguyen explains what communities are based on, the difference between interaction and belonging, and why start-up founders are becoming used to deploying this word.

Among the most important topics, they touched upon whether we can still believe in human agency; what democracy looks like in the age of AI; and whether AI will ultimately hack or enhance humanity. Unmissable.
