@peter who cares if it is good; is it getting *engagement*?!
@peter I should have known after my quip @pluralistic would have more direct writing relevant to this garbage - two quotes from https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/23/goodharts-lawbreaker/#no-metrics-no-targets which I think are relevant (1) All forms of cultural activity have collapsed into a single, overriding imperative: "getting attention." and (2) "the most dangerous thing for platforms is not racist garbage. It’s unmonetizeable content."

@nemoest @peter @pluralistic

So is "become unmonetizable" the new "become ungovernable"?

@oddeyed @nemoest @peter @pluralistic I would submit “become decentralized” as another candidate but on further thought they may be the same thing.
