Well said. I’m just pointing out that platforms aren’t really designed to promote meaningful interactions, they’re designed to keep us engaged and clicking. And because of that, it’s hard for thoughtful, meaningful content to really thrive in that kind of system.

Thoughtful, meaningful content tends to contradict the tenets of mass media. I think we just gotta carve out the spaces for ourselves that we want and accept the rest.
