Not such a great system when a bunch of peasants convince themselves to believe in lies. "Everyone gets a voice to say damaging things" is the road to ruin.

But what if the entire business model was/is actually a lord and peasant system. Whereby lords can, while verified and identified as lords, communicate with the masses of pesants without any other gatekeepers.

The peasants having their chit chat on the side isnt the point, that is the noise and the lords are the signal.

The damaging stuff isn't idle chitchat. Much of it is orchestrated by people who want to manipulate the gullible to their political advantage.
If all the pesants are saying it, nobody gives a shit.

If all the blue checkmarks are saying it, people give a shit.

You cant tell the difference anymore.

I think that's what they used to say when the United States was founded.
