So, in your world ppl only research one side of a topic? Also, your flawed take assumes everyone believes everything they read. This is not the case...
And "freedom loving users can't exist?" What? You do know what the basic qualifiers for a false statement are? You use one for each of your statements.
Not everyone is like you, so you cannot use your own actions to claim 'nobody' will do this or that those types 'can't exist'.
so you can't figure out i'm using your definition.
but my apologies cuz i think it's going way off the topic now. i wanna point out what you see today, companies using certain algorithms to take away your freedom, doesn't necessarily reflect what a "trust network" could mean.
influence happens whether you agree or disagree on an idea. every info that you receive is delivered to you by a medium and rated either subtly or directly. if you're just gonna say "freedom loving users" and "do your own research" and count out every process that involves automation or AI, you're gonna be left with pretty much nothing because using ink or some manual human process doesn't make it different.
i doubt "freedom loving users" will be driven away, not to mention it could only happen after someone can define them to begin with. even if it does happen most users will flock to whatever is proven to be the best in the market. most likely it'll involve some AI and automation (if not complete) because right now it seems like the most suitable way to scale, if not the only way. hopefully it'll have some decentralization too.
Do you think Hive is the best blogging/gaming/social media platform? If so, why am I seeing a truly decentralized platform, like Pocketnet.app explode since the election and Hive being quite stagnant for a long long time? I signed up here in 2016, but find myself on other platforms more often than not.
I see you code, so may be biased towards algorithms. I don't code, so you'd really need to break it down into fine details to sell the idea to me. I hate laziness and this idea on the surface looks like the negatives outway the positives and one of those negatives is the user could become even more lazy relying on something like this.
The last thing we need a lazier generation than the Millennials.
Do i think hive is the best blogging platform? No.
Group an entire generation as lazy when some of them wrote the technology that you rely on to communicate the word lazy? Laziness.
The few have created what we use and the systems we live within. The majority are lazy. Simple fact 😁 . So, your strawman argument noted...
A single generation in US across every state is bigger than most countries in the world. If you're gonna pick a sample that big, on every instance, you're gonna get soldiers doctors lawyers manual workers coders teachers structural engineers etc. They participate in the infrastructure that you use to call them lazy without worrying about being publicly executed for it. It's part of your freedom, so that's fine, but it's also a good example of laziness.
