Its insane that the digital technology of Western world has come to be completely dominated by a couple of advertising companies. The conflicts of interest with societal (including economic) objectives are enormous and the solutions so simple and natural.

That such a pivotal issue is not handled competently with the top priority attention it deserves says more about the state of the US polity than the horned man storming the Capitol.

AFAIK the US bigtech dictates a lot of the tech movement narratives and America is already a P2W society if you think about it from a game industry perspective, so this isn't exactly a surprise, what comes next should be a surprise, like, either AI outpaces US capability to dictate digital narratives in the western countries and states manage to get into their own digital narratives or the America vs China technology/economic warfare winners will. Would love to have a 3rd alternative but all other assumptions sound stale to me at this point.
