What if regulation is the cause and more would make it worse?
> Government regulation to make it so they don't have to go through trouble like production and distributor negotiations which big companies don't (because they own the production and distribution systems)
So regulation to fix the regulation that the regulation caused problems with in the first place. Whack-a-mole? Good luck building your utopian government regulation system, I'll give it a hard pass and fight against it wherever I live.
> People should be able to quit under-paying and toxic jobs, and buy more-expensive products from more ethical companies, without going broke. People should have ways to advance their careers and start their own companies.
Again, what got is into this system in the first place. How is adding in even more bureaucracy, more rich corporate elite minions that actually just want to take advantage of these idealistic systems to make more corporate profits by faking that they want to help people. People already hate welfare, and for good reason (bureaucratic waste of money and time that doesn't actually help people that are struggling in the long run, giving them more stigma and more difficulty to become involved in society).
We live in a society in the West focused on globalized homogenized corporatist technocracy. It's sad to witness people like you, who probably live a great comfortable life, trying to push more of the same systems that are enslaving the people.
What we really need is freedom, free markets, real Capitalism, which is being sapped away quickly as the elite and their technocrat minions completely suck it out of all of us.
Although I admit I have nowhere near the experience dang does in moderation, this policy just doesn't sit well with me.
In this human existence of timelines of information consumption, the sooner we confront and address new information the better. Isn't one of the most dopamine-inducing fun parts of news to be the first one to know about it, and be known to others you share it with as being skilled at keeping up with it?
"Low-substance dross" seems very subjective, but I kind of get the idea. I would call it "reddit-tier". I guess your moderation is what keeps us above that level of content quality, and I certainly don't have time to dig into the history of your reasoning here, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
