These systems should not scale. Giving everyone free broadcast capability is a sign of mentally bankruptcy.

Its like giving every neuron in your head broadcast capability. What happens when they all fire at the same time? Or like giving everyone in the world a radio transmitter that can broadcast on any frequency. What happens when they all transmit on the same frequency at the same time?

These idiots are scaling things because its become possible technically. There is no other logic to whats going on. And its producing/enabling massive amounts of useless noise. The UN report on the Attention Economy says 0.5% of content on the net is actually consumed by anyone.

I agree, but I don't think it's a sign of "mentally bankruptcy," but an indication of the flaws and limitations of contemporary ideology. They're not just doing it because it's technically possible, they wouldn't even try and no one would sign up if our ideology didn't say it was a good thing to do.
