just one of the reasons why i'll never again want to be on commercial social media platforms.
It somehow seems to me that such platforms lack "social" in them.
I don't know whats the pure definition of social, but as soon as a Person gets money to spread something that triggers people without it being his own opinion is... not the same social as a pub.
If a person spreads facts that trigger people, then I want the person not to profit off of it and let it be his actual opinion or desire to write/spread. Which makes it feel social again.
Carful, you start looking at areas of our society that don't make any sense as an economic vehicle, and you might start advocating for giving food to people who are hungry and houses to people on the street!
