@cgervasi Yeah, because surely, they will do it on their own, out of pure goodness of their hearts.

Unless you're proposing storming their headquarters on our own, I don't see Zuck or Musk freeing their hostages because that would mean leaving money on the table, and they can't have that.

@drq @pluralistic People are not hostages to products and services.

@cgervasi Looks like you either didn't read the article or oblivious to what's happening. Or both.

@drq
@pluralistic I enjoyed the article. In my lifetime we've gone from gatekeepers as a fact of life, to no gatekeepers, to a feedback loop that gives us more of the train wrecks we crane our necks at the most. We want to tools to be our own gatekeepers, along the line of RSS readers content published by a variety pf sources we select.
I think (hope) that that train-wreck feedback loop maybe a dying late 10s phenomenon.
