I’d argue that it isn’t possible without fully disconnecting the platform from both state influence and shareholder-driven models. Companies already inside that system can’t really escape—they’ve agreed to its rules.
Still, opening the discussion matters. The likely winner? Something new and decentralized, like Nostr.

Thanks for responding to this. Absolutely agree with everything you’ve mentioned. I think it’s worth noting the type of marketing used here too, as with this CEO, so many users just buy into this sort of talk. It’s a shame that a lot of our technical concepts are un-sexy to most, therefore many overlook them. I also found it ironic that this Op-ed from Patreon was behind a NYT paywall, because of course.
