Well, click-driven advertisement and emotion-driven social media have disrupted the old (and well functioned) system of information pre-filtering and pre-selection by domain experts and journalists whose salary was dependent more on reputation than "engagement".
Now we're mowing the consequences of such "disruption".
- alexis_fr 7y agoThose “domain experts” were censoring men’s rights, for example. Only since Youtube are we discovering that male victims of home violence are 28% cases; If you listen to the “domain experts” they’ll pretend it is so small it’s not measurable, or pretend it’s not a problem. That’s just an example for the area I’m expert in, but the current western political blowback is massively due to information flowing with fewer censorship, hence discovering that “domain experts” have led us to believe false or inaccurate things in the past. “Domain experts” is also “TV-channel chosen domain experts” or “journalist-chosen domain experts” which has proven to provide erroneous results.
