@zephoria I think another lens through which to see the collapses underway is of bureaucratized, professionalized Big Social. It happened at Facebook through boringness and Twitter through willful swamp-draining: the collapse not of the network but of a class of its maintainers.

This is a shame in the sense that this class had partly turned these capitalist firms into public-benefit utilities, despite their status as publicly traded corps. But in both cases, capitalism is getting its revenge.
