    It’s true that capitalism and public interest are generally incompatible. Though this seems a bit more nefarious, considering that actions at both Twitter and Reddit have only continued to devalue these institutions, no?

And the immune system (checks-and-balances, separation of powers, etc.) have largely failed.
