  • Honestly the short form content incentivizing formats should be dropped altogether. Short form content has pretty clearly fried people’s attention spans and burnt a lot of their fuse to boot.

    The incentive to be smug snappy and smarmy to own people for internet points is too much, nevermind the algorithms that more or less act as a match finder for mass shouting contests as opposed to organic socialization where people who aren’t psychopaths tend to have the good sense to just ignore each other if they encounter irreconcilable differences of ethical and political values.

    That’s right, the echo chamber was invented by the social media companies to gaslight you for not being happy they basically play rage tinder with your feed.




  • I’m usually against tariffs but in this case it seems like a pretty fair tit for tat to China basically removing the budgetary concerns for their manufacturers that said manufacturer’s international counterparts won’t have.

    Subsidizing local production for local markets is fine enough, but exporting products made with an infinite money glitch active is more or less an intentional play at market capture.

    And before some sinoboo tries to gatcha me I do also object to examples where the west subsidizes domestic production for international markets.
