    But I am grateful for independent journalism, which is now my main hope for the future.

    Well guess who’s in control of eyeballs on those journalists?

    Social media companies, who have clear incentives to deprioritize such content and have repeatedly shown they do.

    Let’s reclaim music from the technocrats. They have not proven themselves worthy of our trust.

    While I agree with the article, I have issue with this line. These are not technocrats, they are “leaders” willing to make companies and their products objectively worse in the name of short term profits. These aren’t ‘technical experts put in charge,’ they are greedy, spineless pigs.
