There’s a difference between 1-to-1, 1-to-many, and 1-to-all media.
Once you move into the broadcast realm, the 1-to-all, you’re no longer dealing with a tank or a pond but with an ocean.
And once you’ve created an ocean, you cant divide it so that predators swim in one corner and parasites in another. Everything coexists, mixes, mutates.
That’s why debates about what platforms like TikTok “should” or “shouldn’t” do are hollow. There is never ending debate but all sorts of strangeness and surprises emerge every single day, that no one can predict or control. That is the nature of the Ocean.
