I wish the minority were larger, or large enough to have some market impact. Although it is perhaps growing in recent years to due fairly blatant abuses of power to push agendas.
- criddell 4y agoIf the site is ad supported, then the majority they care about are the majority of ad buyers and ad buyers definitely want moderation.

Imagine a service where the user could explicitly modify the algorithm to encourage different emotions in themselves, including hate if they want it. Such a service would make plain a simple truth we don't want to acknowledge: screens hold powerful sway over people, and algorithms hold sway over screens. That power (mood manipulation) can be used for good or evil. Maybe if people are given control over their own tools in this way, they can better appreciate the control that is exerted on them by others, and so better resist it.
