That's rather patronising; I read your prolix essay, in which I found nothing either very controversial nor very objectionable. I was surprised, and not pleased, to be personally insulted at the end.
I'm neither a prophet nor a futurologist. But I don't share your optimism at the idea of tiny numbers of influencers, advertisers, political POV-pushers and plain trolls using these tools as 1->MANY megaphones. I don't think TwitFace will get rid of the bullshit, because they can't; and I think people will turn away. That's how it's gone in the past, that's why I think that.
- gfodor 4y agoI didn't mean to insult you - but you do seem committed. You've for the third time now re-iterated that you do not want to understand my point. My point is, again, not about what will happen to Twitter et al in the future. It may die out, as have others. But it doesn't matter. My point is about what is happening right now, and that which you are ignoring. If social media, for example, ends liberalism, we won't care if it also ends shortly thereafter.
