X vs. traditional news media

Let's see which propaganda wins

It’s funny that the moment we all suddenly got really clear eyed about how capital & power wields trad media, most non boomers dropped Fox and MSNBC en masse… andddd we all shifted straight to algo-feeds and “content creators.” 

the legacy media issues are real, but new media is just as bad

We are not closer to the truth reading our substacks, we just each have our optimized feeds. Everyone has their influencers, their “current thing”. Platforms surface or repress according to their interests. Reporters and influencers fight for attention, streamers scrapping it out in an ever escalating war for reactions

Our perception is “alternative media,” but it’s just a new, enormous industry. Highly centralized, too. It feels different though, and we enjoy imaging ourselves as rational. The independent thinkers, blissfully unaware

need to normalize showing originals, would reduce so much noise lol

imagine instead of all these posts just one reference link to a 10m video of the situation

dreaming higher ↑ /basedstudio ⋅ exploring new frontiers in crypto, ai, states

maybe if originals were minted and easily accessible we’d be able to easily share originals

Capture verifiably real moments in the age of AI

🛝 • FID #5644 • urls.art • LA • orange dao • psg • nba

What would that be like? Minting the first published social post that contains the content? Have been building a frame to do this on urls.art 
with url mode

I.e. the drop the link of the first Youtube upload from Mr. Beast, or the first published post of one of Dave Portnoy's pizza review on IG)

What we need are verifiable originals
