The birdsite defers to its alley cat's rhythms;
It scavenges and ravages with tacit algorithms

@CheckingInOcassionally @aral that first line is genuine. I do agree, but I'm genuinely asking myself the question. Playing devil's advocate to myself is important to see behind my own paradigm.

It's too easy to blame the site and its overlords. But ultimately aren't "we the people" the content providers. Can't we become more savvy to the dark forces and nurture different ones?

You might be overthinking;

The alternative to migrate to is called Life.
There's more of that here, whereas by design, the birdsite is more like playing a role in a spectator sport, which is also part of life, - as an option only
