The reduction ad absurdum is really absurdum. Attention in a way is created by whoever commands it. The macro is limited at 18h/day * 7.5b, but that’s potential, not actual. If all media magically shuts down, local conversation claims it all.
It’s simpler to see when the attention-pool creator is an individual rather than a platform. Remember when people were arguing Trump shouldn’t be allowed to block people from reading his tweets because freedom of information around public statements? What happened there btw?

Interesting that you see "attention" and not "helping people find content" as what's at stake, incidentally, even though for most ppl it's the latter. Not wrong! But interesting.
any intuition about more useful precedents or mental models?
