If most people agreed with you, who would be using all these platforms you've said are inferior and bad? If people didn't find the platforms met their needs better than the alternatives, why would they create and consume within them? I'm not even defending ad-supported anything--I'm defending creators getting paid, and I find it hard to believe you think that's unnecessary. I like the Patreon model wherever possible. But I also think it's ludicrous to pretend that most people would prefer manual curation of limited content, but they just end up using the platforms they do based on... coincidence? conspiracy? they're not as well-informed as you? Something about this reminds me of how television was seen before "prestige TV" became a thing.
