Big Tech designed their platforms to keep you trapped. YouTube, X, Instagram, and TikTok aren't neutral spaces. They're businesses built on capturing your attention and data. Their algorithms, notification systems, and content policies all serve one purpose: keeping you engaged on their terms. And their terms alone. There's no freedom

    That hasn’t been true for a long time. Filtering bots has increasingly become more difficult, expensive, and sophisticated. Not to mention that there are still plenty of state sponsored bad actors using real people and hybrid approaches.

      What’s your solution to that? Not filtering out bots? Or manually moderating? The latter is even more expensive.

        Your proposal is equivalent to just letting bots completely control the internet. It kills it. We either want an internet or we don’t.
