My 2 sats… again (I’m around 137k sats by now across all discussions)
The “why tho”
I am yet to see an answer that convinces me. Freedom won’t cut it as it can be argued both ways.
I think the most honest opinion was given by #[4] “some of us want (or was it need?) that dopamine “
I think this is the healthiest spot for this debate. What has this dopamine feedback loop done to the fabric of our society? What purpose does it serve, truly? Who does it mainly serve? The users? The algo? Deep down, nobody?
I have argued for both camps today, because I find value in both. But if the result is exchanging quick dopamine discharge for engagement, it would be a good thing. Alienation is a big problem in society, fostering links means reducing alienation.
In all honesty, if that bandwidth and storage can be use to assess commercial trustworthiness or what nots while reducing an addiction that has profoundly changed the world I live in while encouraging people to really communicate and boost the voices of others…
