My metaphor is more a cafeteria. We have appetites, sure, and the cafeteria is selecting food that we are more vulnerable to at the moment (not through deliberation) but we aren’t even buying the food. Plus network effects, so can’t leave. No retail business captures this. 2/2
It's clear that we don't solve food/energy ecology problem just by lecturing people about eating salad or exercising, right? Especially if the main/core place they ate had an incentive of keeping them longer/having them eat more/make money from food manufacturers, not you.

Doesn't mean there are simple solutions, just as there aren't simple, easy-to-implement solutions to the food/energy ecology problem. But you do have a public health issue, as we have a public sphere health issue (that is multi-dimensional for sure but FB is one giant at center).

The second FB started showing things in non-chron order, they were deciding. And if people claim "well people wouldn't have seen it if they didn't click through on similar", there's a hundred years of research showing repetition encourages affinity.
