I get the feeling that your overall philosophy works perfectly given a sufficient level of enlightenment. I actually agree, I'm just targeting one level of enlightenment below yours (with an eye toward my family stuck in southern Missouri, actually enmeshed "real fake news").

I mean what's plutocratic about making a home on the internet. Blogs or other presences are cheap to build. Online community stuff mainly subs for tv or sports. Anyone can do it. I don't get why wealth is a variable here.

Having a "highly curated social graph", dense enough to need only small # of people to provide you situational awareness of important topics, is definitely a strong modern form of wealth. If Twitter shuts down, you could contact ~70 people through vgr@ribbonfarm.com or whatever.

I think you just haven't experienced enough of the ugly side of networking and have an idealized view of it. Almost all of it is toxic. The tiny amount of good is a side effect of a) putting work out there b) making *very* rare and serious win-win collaboration overtures
