The world is going to hell in a handbasket because advertising is the largest business in the world and it’s dominated by “engagement”. The algorithm has determined that fury and strife are the biggest drivers of engagement and thusly push content that exploits this fact above all other content in order to put advertisers in front of your face.

We know this information already. The strange thing is that the populace doesn’t seem to give a shit. Almost like they enjoy the suffering. We live in wild times. Tech tyrants are eroding western democracy and nobody is sounding any alarm bell or fighting back in any way. We’re all just watching it happen. I dunno. I guess I can’t really think of any way to fight back myself.
