No, Twitter changed its algorithms leading up to the election. That was not self selection. They were actively pushing right wing bullshit down everyone's throats because the owner spent $200 million trying to get the dipshit elected.

Which is no different from any of the US social media companies tweaking their algorithms against criticism of all number of political things.

Twitter blatantly forced right wing radical propaganda down their entire user bases through a for months. Facebook was selling user data to foreign influence groups to assist with political message targeting. They're all the same.

So once again, Republicans lied

That's what the assassin used. They substituted the one term.

Only by the rich people who are actually stealing from us. PPP loan forgiveness for their litany of fraudulent claims...

Who wrote this shit? You can't make an article that's half about wanting a new name for your field and end it with "there's a lot of ideas" without giving a single one. Garbage.

Except all the social media are doing the exact same thing. This is pointless political posturing

This was about bluesky/Twitter type social media. Things with reshare and follows to specific users, where someone you follow arguing with someone you don't will expose you to the person you don't follow.

Do you know why 30% was chosen? It was the typical cut retail took. Physical stores selling goods take that much to cover their lease, logistics in moving those good to the store and employees.

Online stores do not share most of those costs. 30% is not needed.

Digital data is just 1s and 0s.

On and off. If you turn that laser on and off you're transmitting binary information. The receiver can interpret that. We already do that with fiber optic cable, basically. This is just removing the wire.

Some of them are, which is even more confusing.

No it wasn't. We were taking about streams monopoly status and epic being one of the few alternatives.

YOU were the one trying to deflect the conversation into business viability. Which your entire side tangent really only reinforces how obscene the monopoly hold off stream is, that trying to break into the market is so expensive.
