We wish to make different people evolve in our own image, as how we behave, look, or act. This is what Social Media companies wanted, the World to evolve in their input/output image, turning Drivel INTO Expensive!
First look at the peculiarity in their marketing. The company Employees’ marketed themselves, vide what they get to EAT in the CANTEEN as 3 TIMES A MEAL (FREE FREE FREE), and also get FREE TRANSPORT. This is all what they had, to market their Human Resources, and COMPANY’s Standards & Poor’s! Seems, who earn in thousands of Dollars, don’t get FOOD at HOME, or can’t afford! And they ended up DRAFTING the INTERNET POLICIES. BRAVO! Now you must realize why erstwhile Twitter Collapsed, as an analogy!
Secondly, take this another simple example. If someone cites the Egyptian Pyramids in his/her writing, then of course, that is called meaningful Fiction Writing, which comes under the definition of Literature. Or maybe included in the Philosophy! INDEED! But what the Influencers did? Contrary to this, they started discussing/sharing Technicalities of Pyramids, VIA Copy Pasting, and not only on ONE Subject, but the ENTIRE Academics. They turned fantasy, fiction, philosophy, INTO, News Narration! The ones who gained more followers, & hits, ended up gaining more dollars! Now the army of these Influencers, wanted the Internet to be built in their own image, and the domino effect started, making Internet (World’s Greatest Invention) itself into -> MEME.This is what Silicon Valley’s executives wanted after all, and they succeeded in that. By the time we were able to demarcate the gobbledygook from expensive, in the last decade and a half, it was already too late, into pure amalgamated product!
The youngsters are susceptible to all this. And 99% of them are neither resilient, nor confident enough to walk alone, circumventing rat race, especially with these Social Media companies.
Reviews became trolling. Hit jobs became full time profession. Journalism, the Wikipedia’s folklore. Fact checking, a conspired joke! Science, the deceitful propaganda. 25 years old were giving lectures on Life Lessons! And OnlyFans, Insta Protagonists -> our modern age Emily Dickinson.
A commendable decision by the Australian government!😊
