Haven't computers and a big tech be doing the same for decades now? Sucking information and drive viral ads to people aiming to spend days sliding infinite scrolls?
Interesting. Has it truly been that for you? For me it's been more like a Swiss army knife or multitool. Just have to be thoughtful about what you use.
Most of the people ignore all this and now are trap using tech like heroin addicted to a feels-needed plug to society.
How do we fix that? How do we empower people? What if they don't wanna?
Unfortunately, and I say this with regret, not everyone wants or will have this freedom. When the normal thing is not to give a damn about your privacy, sharing your entire way of thinking and acting with completely useless technology will be the normal thing. What you can do, you do for yourself and for those you care about. Social networks and anything decentralized is good, but nothing replaces acquired knowledge. Whether it's online, through books, guides, articles and courses, or through formal education. Knowledge and human connections ennoble us.
Ps: I'm not talking about you @optimism, but because I know that people will read your question and then my answer. It's a joint construction.
