One would think from all the reactions, Tucker Carlson or Jimmy Kimmel are busy building hospitals, colleges and orphanages across the land.
In an Attention Economy where Attention is finite pool, like Land or Oil just allowing random people to suck everyone's Attention makes no sense. Especially when everyone is allowed to Broadcast simultaneously. Monetize their audience. Weaponize content. No reform to any of it.
