Too much cynicism just leads to paralysis. We do need some way to identify a way forward. Top-down centralized corporate media wasn’t it, but this algorithmic social media stuff isn’t great either. The former amplified voices that could pretend to be serious. This current thing amplifies voices that pretend to be stupid.
It is a difficult problem.
- deltaburnt 2y agoCentralized media at least gives you an entity to rally behind or against. If a news network is pushing propaganda it's easier to say "this place is a problem". With social media it's much more nebulous. Opinions on the source of the problem range from the big tech companies, the algorithms, the concept of social media as a whole, foreign influences, etc.
