This a complex issue with a lot of nuance. Hope is important, measurement of what needs to be changed is important, as well as scoping to topics instead of trying to boil the ocean (enumerating a tire fire, for example). One problem at a time.
In this thread, Europe has shown regulation is possible. The US has as well, with the FTC and DOJ actions of late. So while there are lots of problems left to solve, it’s okay to appreciate what has been solved so for, and to work to understand the burden of work that remains. Lets not rant, lets solve problems. And stay hopeful!
Tangentially, I think sentiment has declined and “low effort posts” are more frequent because the world has become an objectively worse place over the last 10-15 years. Posts are simply reflecting reality.
