🎙 Welcome to Season 5 of Rabbit Holes! 🚀
We're kicking off this season with a deep dive into the future of social media—and how Hawaiʻi is making waves in the digital space. With TikTok’s ban shaking up the industry and corporate social media platforms facing growing distrust, HiLite has emerged as a Hawaiian-centric alternative built for creators by creators.
Joining us today is Sammy, the visionary behind HiLite, to discuss:
✅ What sets HiLite apart from other social platforms
✅ How digital sovereignty can empower local communities
✅ The challenges and opportunities in competing with corporate tech giants
✅ The future of social media in a post-TikTok world
💡 Plus, in our opening editorial, we explore:
🔹 The shift toward localized social platforms
🔹 The growing movement of community-driven tech innovation
🔹 What this means for digital privacy, content creation, and cultural preservation
Whether you’re a creator, a consumer, or just someone tired of the same old algorithmic nonsense, this episode is for you.
🎧 Hit play, and let’s go down the rabbit hole.
