The gatekeeping role is also where accountability happened. When the cost of distributing information closes to zero, the cost of not verifying it first also plummets. How to justify the investment to build a rep for verified info when all are in the same flat feed, with engagement the only metric?

Verification has been decoupled from process. Anyone can perform it. A thread, a meme, a confident voice on a podcast, all can simulate the work of verification without doing it. What looks like truth-seeking is often just performance.

Greatest video ever. Most important lesson. Anything you say can be used against you but anything you say that could help you is not admissable because it is hearsay.
There is nothing you can say in this situation that can possibly help you, nothing

They think that knowledge should be decided by those in power, not fact and independent inquiry.
Any source of learning that rejects financial and political influence must be crushed.
That's why the TV networks are fine, because they can be coerced.
