The overwhelming desire for content is driving us in some very strange and unhealthy places. Yes, it makes sense for everyone to make a video about Jordan Peterson because we're not really engaging with Jordan Peterson; we're engaging in the machine and ideology that he supports and sustains, which is a lot bigger than evaluating a single person. But what happens if the same critiques are leveled at a low-tier media personality? What's the machine here that people want redirected or abolished? Ballinger's online career? Is victory chasing her into another line of work? I guess that's what is happening now, so congrats?

I saw the same thing with the recent #illuminaughtii stuff too. And a whole lot of smug "I never liked her and now everyone knows I'm *right* to have never liked her." This can't be good for us as a media diet, as how cultural criticism is suppose to make us better. It exhausts, and that's how I'm feeling right now from all of it.

This is my space. Lots of (lucky) humans have benefited from these services but #SiliconValley #BigTech #WallStreet approach to online #MentalHealth Services & Apps have been an ethical con-job and #PersonalPrivacy nightmare.
