@bubbles I have no clue how "libertarian culture" and freedom is at odds with creating "cozy corners". The post is trying to say something, but instead of saying it, it tries to find some deeper ideological concept that's just not there.

@vrypan @bubbles "libertarian culture" and freedom themselves are quite ideological concepts with deep histories. That aside, "libertarian culture" isn't incompatible with "cozy corners;" what's being argued here is the hyper-focus on the individual precludes the creation of "cozy corners" - those corners aren't necessary and, in the corporatization of the internet, certainly aren't profitable. The profit motive then becomes overriding bc what else is there?
