I think we can live our whole lives happy without academia's take on Facebook, but otherwise wholeheartedly agree with this critique.https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/1453028053802631170 …

So you’re seeing the ones who mostly played along, who exist for sure. I don’t think they’re representative of the modal aspirations of the academics.

Some of my best friends are social scientists! But worth aspirations don't make anything a good idea.

I think the incentive for academic capture of social media (to the point where you have some social media analogue of journalism school or an MFA) is strong, and the allure of great green fields of money to be settled by young professors (in good faith!) should not be ignored.

What I'm telling you is that the "allure" you talk about has been there for a decade, and a large number of academics have resisted or completely rejected it, and have thus been shut out. No group I can see with better track record in producing good work and resisting the money.
