Social Media Platforms Are Not Public Goods
In the social media eco system, what are some of those dimensions that are getting collapsed? You mention loving hating contents. What else is there? I think that, as you're saying, essentially everything is getting collapsed down into just doou spend time or go on to the next piece of content. And so what ends of happening here is we reduce the multi dimensionality and the complexity of human existence down to the single dimension. But it actually makes a lot of sense, from a business perspective that they are doing this collapsing, because their primary goal is not your promoting human flourishing, or whatever. Their primary goal is getting you to click on ads.
