Sigma ζ (she/her) on Nostr: The reason why Twitter went wrong is the same reason why the European tabloid press ...
The reason why Twitter went wrong is the same reason why the European tabloid press in the early 20th Century went wrong. It is ad-driven. Ads work by making you think you are desperate to possess something, so the entire format is designed to get your amygdala going while shutting other parts of your brain down.
Ads are to true marketing as crystal meth is to a cup of coffee, and they give capitalism the bad name it only sometimes deserves.
