This is something I have also wondered about but I think he’s somewhat discounting the effect “huh, I never knew I could even *be* angry about THING until outrage enabler machine showed me because it discovered outrage generates engagement”
This is extremely clever and funny and worth watching... BUT... there is a battered yet hardy residue of 90s JP Barlow Internet idealism here that wants to believe that if the Internet has gone toxic and shitty, this must be wholly a function of greedy corporations and their algorithms...
lol it’s so genuinely fun seeing Cory take decades of fluency in how these systems are broken and serve it up for a mainstream audiences. Even if you know “enshittification” well, this is worth the watch. And love to @eff.org! youtu.be/d2e-c9SF5nE

I don’t know why but people of all political persuasions resist this fact. It’s one of the few things we have reasonable certainty about the future. Just ask people what they think the fertility rate is in China or India and then ask them to look it up. Surprise!

4. What it means is that, short of murdering a billion people or more, there is nothing anyone can do – or could have done in our lifetimes – to alter the broad trajectory. People have devoted their lives to fighting a mathematical function. 4/12

Making music is a communal experience, as is listening to it, live or with a group of friends at home. But I get it - making profit doesn't mean one should even understand why any of this is important.

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)
