The algorithms aggressively pushing this to get hold of the attention economy will likely increase the probability of copy-cats.

This is why commies say the revolution will not be televised. No rational government in history would/has do/done such a thing.

But we don't have rational actors, we only have algorithms and the markets.

beautiful real life example of capitalism containing the seeds of its own destruction

they are really selling us the rope we will hang them with. i'm expecting they clamp down on this shit sooner rather than later though, they can't be that stupid.

The last corpos algorithm will sell us the agitprop that their employees will be inspired to destroy them with.

They have a choice between either putting that content on their own platforms or watching visitors trickle to competing platforms where they can get that content.

Much as newspapers have a choice between printing news about such actions or watching people buy competing newspapers that have it in there. They print it while putting their own spin on the events.

Really the only difference between the two is that the editor of the newspaper is a human hand while the editor of the internet plaforms is the algorithm. They have degraded their control by handing things over to automation. The algorithm will never be a spindoctor, even with ai.
