I support opposing misinformation directly. Hold the authors accountable by making them justify what they say against actual published science. Press them with punishment and make them change their tune. At this point they are a cancer killing humanity and we should have very little humanity left for them.

We’re never actually going to win this arms race. We need a structural solution. Perhaps we could look into, maybe, decentralizing social media so no single algorithm ends up controlling huge chunks of it?
Might be worth a shot anyway, I dunno.

Enshitification of the Internet itself???
That surely started in its early days (because it was not mainstream accessible, only when it got to that point that process started).

Not what enshittification means.

I thought it meant something going to shit… We definitely had it better than when the companies took this place.
