the thing about "marketplace of ideas" is that it presents itself as a neutral framing and IT IS VERY MUCH NOT. "marketplace" has baked-in presuppositions!

Like other marketplaces, most of the time it's not the good ideas that make it to the front of the store, it's the ones with the biggest advertising budget. Meritocracy is a myth, and that's especially true with the "marketplace of ideas".
