I just don't think that attention economies are fundamentally capitalist. These incentives exist for any collective action in an adversarial ecosystem. KPIs and earnings reports are _a_ problem but not the only one.
Take it further. Why is there an engagement KPI important to these companies? Because they sell advertising against it. And they do that because of capitalism. The core problem is an insufficiently strong/competent political system that can curb the excesses of capitalism for the public good.
Engagement KPIs have been responsible for infinite scroll UI traps, RecSys radicalization spirals, public shame brigades, and basically every modern ailment novel to the past decade. At some point, you have to recognize that the problem isn't any one technology, it's the metric.

Jay Rosen used to talk about heading towards a hybrid professional/amateur ecosystem in the news. And it turns out that was right but the industry just decided to jettison all the professionals.
Ryan Lizza is doing with his Substack what YouTubers have already perfected: taking serious allegations they’re personally involved with and turning them into melodrama to deflect from any of their own culpability and wrongdoing and monetize the shit out of it. Not journalism plus it’s embarrassing

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.
AirBnB CEO calling it “vibe revenue” just 👨‍🍳 😘

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Mastodon has a new CEO, with Eugen Rochko stepping down and the former CFO Felix Hlatky taking over the leadership role.

this week's fediverse report is a reflection on that and a closer look at the changes

Building chrono timelines of hundreds of events for topics with very high info volume is that the timelines are incredibly useful for building *our* understanding and maybe to certain researchers, but for most people they can be kinda uninviting. There is just so much stuff.
