I yearn for an exclusionary Internet. Most voices don't matter.

  Would you mind explain 1) why you want that and 2) who decides which voices do matter?

    "1) why you want that" Universal broadcast does not work (beneficially for society) in an industry built to monetize reach. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but voices are not equal in utility or worth. "2) who decides which voices do matter?" This is always the problem, isn't it? I don't have an answer for you.

      Isn't 1 just the result of 2? It's because we don't have an answer and because there probably isn't an answer to the second question that we need universal broadcast as you called it. We could get away from it only if we figure out an answer to the second question but I suspect we'll never get to an answer.

        "Isn't 1 just the result of 2?" Only in that reach will continue to be monetized regardless of its impact on society.
