Old news? Seems to be a subject of several papers for some time now. Synthetic data has been used successfully already for very specific domains.

Normification is a facet of our undemocratic capitalism. As you see yourself as a consumer of the internet and not a citizen, you mostly assume that a thing being

  1. popular
  2. monetizable
  3. and convenient

is always preferable.

So the internet continues to have a huge potential to host many cool places, but

  1. they can't reach users that might be interested
  2. gaining support from small donations is difficult
  3. and they can't integrate a complete set of features, accessibility, design and content moderation.

If you ask an average internet user about these places, it's a common response to say they're weird as in not normal. If you dig a bit for what they mean, it's usually the above. Nobody is there, it can't make money and it doesn't have all the things.

We would be better than ever, if not for the normification.

Some people are right way before their time. Fortunately, they sometimes also know how to write.

Me trying to infinite scroll but the algorithm is just new posts in chronological order. What is this, a reasonable platform that I don’t feel like using 24/7?

Take your money and spend it somewhere else. That’s the only sound corporations can hear.
