Social media is like horseless carriage. A bad extension of an absent reference. It’s not a personalized/customized long-tail extension of broadcast media. It’s not a 7-billion channel universe. I think those mental models have become severely limiting.

Hot take: Everyone (including me) wants to preserve the 1-to-very-many ephemeral and viral broadcast capacity of mediums like twitter. But, we also want to filter out the sensationalism, abuse, and attention hijacking.
This may not be possible.
