    Unfortunately, Showerthoughts has a character limit. But in essence, billionaires are only reinforcing the kind of terrible game that best suits their profit-hungry agenda. I mean, it’s not like they produce any content themselves – that would be the logic of legacy media and far too expensive, therefore not profitable enough in the age of social media.
