The Feed is the Product: Why We Stay in Walled "Gardens", and Why We Might Finally Leave for the Open Social Web
We have known this for years. We have known that the major platforms are bad for our attention, our sleep, our politics, our children, and our sense of reality. And yet here we are, still scrolling. This essay is an attempt to answer two questions: why is leaving so hard, and what does it look like when it finally becomes possible? Let's take the platforms one at a time, because each one has found its own distinctive way to be terrible. Meta is the empire that learned nothing. In 2018, we learne...

Digitalt oberoende ā sociala medier
De stƶrsta sociala medierna Ƥgs av storfƶretag som hƶr hemma i USA. Det Ƥr fƶretag som Meta Platforms som Ƥger Facebok, Threads och Instagram samt Google med Youtube och Google Books. Vidare Microsoft som Ƥger LinkedIn, Amazon som Ƥger Goodreads och Twitch, Snap Inc med Snapchat, Reddit Inc med Reddit och X Corp med X plus nƄgra till.
