Spoiler: Internet advertising bad. "[...] attract as many eyeballs as possible for as long as possible to serve ever more ads..": bad. Federation good.
Never ties it all together, and I quoted that "eyeballs" part because I didn't want to dignify it with a shorter and more cogent summary; to be fair, it does this in a section with the heading "targeted advertising and the commodification of attention". Throws in tubgirl and "maybe you just flip through your friends’ vacation photos while on the john".
Not my cup of tea. It goes on. Old white guys created the internet and something about antiestablishment boomers with "...passion for freedom of speech, and a sense of responsibility to protect it." These people failed to envision the "dark side" of the social organizations they were creating, and nothing about the obligation or even expectation that users bear responsibility for the internet they inhabit and inductively create by their very presence.
Create your own reality folks: it doesn't mean what you think it means.
