Agreed, but like how do you fix it? Moving is expensive and difficult the farther away from your starting point you go. That’s something that has to be prioritized and even then, it’s not always attainable.

Without at least some economic privilege and luck, it’s not an option for most people. Certainly there are a group of people who would like to move and cannot because of reasons they find more compelling.

The people who would move but can’t, aren’t all of the people that don’t move far from where they are born. It could be complacency, but it could also be contentedness. The people who stay put usually have much stronger social structures than people who move around, which is not nothing.

There aren’t many ways to organize raising the money required to build a better youtube or reddit. You could kickstart it, but you’d better hope whoever does the dev doesn’t sell. Another option would be a large open source ngo funding the development, but you’re still talking long timelines to completion.

There definitely is room for a more pro-social social media platform that isn’t a clone of something else. Paying for it is another matter.

Oh yeah, I always forget Tesla’s are palantíri for Musk. Don’t forget to point and laugh when you see a Tesla, just in case Elon is watching.
