But we already have "next-gen intermediate organizations" that filter the news for us. I carefully curate people I follow on Twitter, subreddits I'm subscribed

  This is a good point, we do have some. But I think there is vast room for improvement. For one, the examples you listed require significantly more effort and care to manage. Perhaps the best platforms of the coming decades will succeed by providing very powerful tools that enable intermediate orgs to more effectively scale up alongside the massive flow of information while remaining true to their core values. Reddit is probably one of the best examples right now. But I think it is only a glimmer of the potential. I also think that we have to somehow remove the incentives that push for blindly increasing "engagement" at all costs. The obvious targets being digital advertising and the grotesque, anti-human ad-tech industry that it has spawned.
