It is wild trying to explain what the internet "used to be" to younger people. Like just how there seriously were no ads on the majority of sites you'd stumble upon and just the idea that not all sites were about making money.

If you close both of your eyes you see black. If you close one do your eyes, you see nothing

People build a dam to make a reservoir so that a community has the water they need, then capitalists buy it from them and start raising the prices and letting the water grow toxic through lack of maintenance.
Social media started as a way for people to connect and enjoy being connected. It was damned from the moment the capitalists saw money in it. If you create something valuable, whether it's art or a social media site, you'd have to fight tooth and nail to avoid it becoming utterly disfigured and corrupted.
This is their process in everything. Max profit at any cost to the wellbeing of people. Profit before life, before love, before humanity. Capitalism as a system encourages them to do it, teaches them that as long as it's "just business", it doesn't matter what you do. Profit first, and fuck everyone and everything else. And they're not even happy! Rich assholes are miserable, but profit comes even before their own peace.

Frightening.. There are so many biases to overcome.

It's hard to attract the well-fed with food, so they attract the hungry who are typically in need of psychological support as well, and who are prone to listen to whatever they're told for a meal.

Reply to comment by D3monVolt in Paintings are spatial art whereas music is temporal art. by Firesondiego
What they mean is you can experience the full painting by translating only in the 3 spatial dimension and it is temporally independent. You can only experience a musical piece but translating through the time dimension and the spatial dimensions are mostly irrelevant to it. A video is both a spatial and temporal work as a result of these definitions, even if it doesn't include any sound

The videos for both were released differently. Derek Chauvin was caught on camera by cellphone during the incident. This latest one took weeks for the video to come out.
Also, these cops were fired immediately.

Wow…just wow. You just classified the greatest repository of all of human knowledge ever known as “and not much else”.
There is more to the internet than just social media. Yikes.
