The informational freedom part is all about computation and who controls it. So, I should be able to program YouTube, not YouTube programming me, right? And fundamentally, we all carry supercomputers in our pockets. And yet, when you pull up an app on that supercomputer, let's say you pull up the YouTube app, at this point, you're reduced to basically your fingers and your brain. Like, the supercomputer is working entirely on behalf of YouTube and no longer on behalf of you.
whether that's, you know, YouTube or Twitter or Facebook or TikTok or whatever, all revolve around capturing as much human attention as possible because that's the fundamental business model. You capture the attention and then you resell some portion of it.
