i’m not sure i’m in line with the blame social media companies. We don’t blame telephone companies. We don’t blame ISPs. We don’t blame hardware companies. Why does software get the blame? Serious question. #asknostr

Because telephone companies & ISPs are pull- driven. In fact in some cases to avoid congestion, they may be incentivized not to push for more use...
But social media companies are incentivized to increase time & attention spent on the site. They decide what to serve basis that (and purportedly create addictive behaviour).
Because powerful people don't use them (directly), but they have enough $$$ to be worth extorting.
