I have come to a somewhat different conclusion, namely, that the real evil in online media is driven by form and sheer volume of uncurated (by humans) information. As such, I have mostly gotten what I call “timelines” (see following link for definition) out of my life. https://blackcap.name/blog/new/?p=6748

Love this, Joel. Even the transcript of an audio message can turn a loosely held thought, suggestion, or moment of whimsy into a proclamation, command, or belief. Audio and video capture the nuances.

I wonder if this is why reels, shorts, and TikTok are so effective and more viral?
