If we could just have a workaround to network effects that would be great.

Edit: Any suggestions for how to actually solve the network effect problem (long term)?

I’m European, so: heavy—ass regulation. Don’t trust the market.

We don’t trust capitalism with all important bits of civilization: government, water and food quality, care, education, etc. I don’t see why it has to be let loose here.

Social media has a special place in my heart. A hateful place. If it were up to me I’d ban it outright. It’s eroding the fundaments of society while contributing nothing of value. It’s like crystal meth in that regard.
