1. Centralized control by for-profit corporations (and their investors) chasing perpetual growth
2. Algorithms driving ever-increasing "engagement" to deliver advertising
3. Surveillance capitalism
- sporkydistance 2y agoSorry, I was refering to Hacker News, not all social media. My question was unclear. 1. HN is centralized, but not for-profit. 2. HN does not drive engagement, AFAIK 3. HN is not surveillance capitalism. You haven't demonstrated how Usenet differs from HN, but since my question had a typo and omitted HN, I can see how that is confusing.
