I physically winced at how accurate this take is.

TikTok's market function burns the internet's race-to-the-bottom candle at both ends: depth of the typical content piece and attention span of the typical content consumer dynamically reinforce each other's approach to a common local mimimum of zero, a point which forms a saddle with the local maximum of exploitability and profit.

Fermi paradox might be coming for us next.
