I like what Jeff is doing and I'm on substack and don't mind paying for the ones I choose. I can decide what to watch and what to think about the articles. I realize that everything is being manipulated or monetized as well, so I try to be critical and objective about it. I don't have time for anything else like X, facebook etc. I'm grateful for what I've learned on substack but it's not a substitute for real human interaction, and it can be misleading or confusing or corrupted or censored even, but I alone decide what to believe and what to question. If I'm wrong, so be it. Someone will have to convince me otherwise, and that's the way it should be. I've been scammed, misled, fooled and erased many times though, and I'm learning how to see and avoid such things.
They can push their algorithms all they want but we still have the power to question and criticize and reject their agenda, maybe go underground... whatever it takes.
In my opinion, the internet was never meant to be human in the first place... it was designed to create an artificial facsimily of the human mind. The internet was conceived, designed, and implemented to advance the goal of Alan Turing's "Turing Machine"... a machine that can simulate ANY computer algorithm, no matter how complicated it is!... its specific goal was to mimic the "human" algorithm... and "Social Media" has served as the engine for gathering the knowledge base... Where do you think the concept of AI came from?... From what basis do you think LLMs have been designed?... Social Media was the learning tool for machines... it provided the design criteria. Human kind has, in effect, created its own digital straw boss... It's ok... You can call me crazy... and perhaps I am... but when one thinks about it long enough, it sounds less crazy.

You ARE saying you are against decentralizing. How pathetic.
