The bots will always come. But the humans will have a fighting chance here because we have built a muscle to sniff corporate propaganda much faster than those for-profit algorithm managed anti-social media.

Which tells you organic human generated content is increasingly rare and here we are probably the last unpolluted corners of the human experience outside the non-online local experiences.

The horror! I detest that website with my all. It was one of the earliest places I saw a nasty dark pattern. They would bait you to pay to see who viewed your profile, preying on job seekers desperate for a signal that something may come their way. Nasty evil people those!

It is as if it is a general rule at this point that centralization breeds corruption. No matter how many statements people make early on in social engagements, centralization leads them to screw people depending on these systems. When making long term commitment to anything, check if it is centralized or how easy it is to unshackle yourself from it.

The COOP movement has helped many farmers in East Africa survive harsh economic headwinds through savings and credit options, compared to predatory commercial banks. However, there is a lot of name washing by banks that claim they are "COOPs" yet their terms and treatment of humans is like that of for profit big banks. I hope this move is for the genuine COOP, not the name washing.
