🪞 Blaming the internet for what’s wrong with society is like blaming the mirror because you don’t like what you see.

Platforms optimize for engagement.
Engagement rewards outrage.
Incentives drift toward shareholders.

Cory Doctorow calls it enshittification.

The uncomfortable truth is this.
The internet didn’t do this to us. It amplified what we rewarded.

🤖 Now AI is entering the same incentive structures.

The real question isn’t whether AI follows the same path.
It’s who says no and when.

Builders, founders, and operators don’t get to hide behind “just a user” anymore.

🚨 The mirror isn’t the enemy. The reflection is the warning.
