I wonder if others share my interest in what legitimate businesses are doing.
For example, Hootsuite Amplify is a platform designed to dominate social media by making it easy for your company's employee base to share and promote curated content.
This has a similar effect to botnets, except it's not violating t&c.
We're entering a world where authentic conversation is harder and harder to find. Historically personal content such as emails and tweets are now carefully constructed and managed, but still presented as personal content.

- CPLX 10y ago> We're entering a world where authentic conversation is harder and harder to find. I guess. When I was a youth you found authentic conversation by being in the world and meeting an authentic person and having a conversation. If we keep that definition constant then it's precisely as hard to find today as it has always been.
- abandonliberty 10y agoI think you have a blind spot here. When you were a youth, being in the world and meeting an authentic person didn't have quite as much competition as it does today. It's like saying you're not concerned about the environmental impact of cars because we can always choose good old reliable walking instead.
