It’s not a matter of what I want. This is just reality. Most people don’t care about “democratized attention”. Hell, most people couldn’t tell you what that even means.
Most people just want a place to be entertained and be able to keep up with long distant family and friends. There are those who are there for attention and the narcissistic supply. None of those groups will get what they are looking for here. That’s not the culture here nor is it how it’s designed. This is a niche product. I’m glad it exists and it serves my interests. But my interests, motivations, and priorities are not that of most people.
Look at all the uproar over the potential banning of TikTok in the US. If AP were to vanish tomorrow, would the average internet user even notice? Of course not.
