A couple people have mentioned this but I think it's worth isolating (no pun intended) for emphasis
We started social media with chats that connected people across the world.
Then we handed over the majority of the Internet to Google who, in their pursuit to build out personally useful services, inadvertently jailed us into a hyper localized bubble
That bubble then became the standard of the Internet, and all sorts of pipes of toxic gas hooked in to the bubble and started poisoning us en masse.
- gipp 1y agoNot to say they're fully innocent, but it seems really strange to point to Google specifically on this issue, rather than like... Meta.
- homeonthemtn 1y agoI pick Google because they ended up centralizing services hyper locally. Facebook, to me, came after that
