Well I guess that is because Mark Zuckerberg is incredibly wealthy and thus has a lot of power, while the people with solutions to solve our actual problems aren't wealthy and have little influence.

@amalia12 Very true!

I feel like slowly people with this observation are changing this dynamic, seems like the recent (renewed) push towards #totalitarianism is, in part, because the Elites are noticing that as well, at least according to my #optimism ;)

@madeindex What if we make a decentralised, federated and self-hosted prediction market?

@kalvin0x8d0 That would bankrupt Arena before it got started! Please think of poor Marky Mark, how could he handle that, just after the #Metaverse imploded on him?!
