Thanks for succinctly recapping the core issue here.

Another externality from all this is the growth of misinformation, which our species seems so unaware and defenseless against.

Yeah and most of our families were into usenet. Usenet also pioneered tailoring what to show to maximize "engagement" so the number of people taken in by conspiracies has actually decreased now. Thanks google. Thanks facebook. You always know what's best for us!
