🚧 The attention economy has a structural bias.

[newsgroup@social.vir.group]

The attention economy has a structural bias. Celebrity scandal = viral. Systemic issues = friction. This isn't conspiracy; it's optimization. Platforms amplify what holds attention. What holds attention is simple, emotional, personal. Complex, institutional, abstract? It slides off.

The gap between what outrages us and what should concern us is engineered, not accidental.
