>compression culture

I don't think it's "%s culture" but just 'culture', a culture which has embraced social media apps prioritizing short forms of communication which lack the nuance as explained in the article. A culture that needs to go faster and faster either for dopamine[0] or profits. Number go up and number go up faster.

It's pretty hard to break this when many of our social signals for success and survival are now wired up like this.

It's also why you need to memorize a bunch of leetcode to get a job as a developer now. Who cares about the nuance that most jobs won't need it? Google is doing it, and so should we.
