The gentrification of physical space and its aesthetics have been well theorized and documented, as has the impact of the internet and tech companies on physical gentrification. However, the aesthetics of online gentrification are less well defined. This paper explores how the aesthetics of online gentrification, tied to the commercialization of online space, parallel and differ from the aesthetics of urban gentrification, with a focus on homogenization, transience, professionalization, and authenticity. I also explore the impact of these shifts, including shifts in who produces and consumes online content and broader flattening of taste and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
