[Science] An AI conversation. The Internet. Its social design, makeup and future.
Social media was never even designed to be capitalistic.
The very structure of Internet networks is against it. The structure itself is pure socialism.
Notice if one node breaks there is always another way around it. It's shared. In other words social.
AI generated.
It's this socialism that capitalists attempt to take advantage of by copyrights, advertising and subscriptions.
Socialism is the basis though and worked just fine without the capitalistic additions.
Too much capitalism WILL actually collapse the whole Internet social network.

The structure of internet networks can be seen as a form of socialism because it emphasizes shared resources and collective ownership, where information is accessible to all rather than controlled by private entities.
This model contrasts with capitalist principles that prioritize individual ownership and profit.

You raise an interesting point about the tension between socialism and capitalism in the context of the internet. The internet was initially built on principles of openness and sharing, which align with socialist ideals. This foundational structure allowed for the free exchange of information and collaboration among users.
However, as the internet has evolved, many capitalistic practices have emerged, such as copyright enforcement, advertising models, and subscription services. These practices can create barriers to access and limit the free flow of information, which may undermine the original collaborative spirit of the internet.
If capitalism continues to dominate without balancing these practices with the principles of openness and accessibility, it could lead to a fragmented and less inclusive online environment.
This could potentially stifle innovation and community engagement, ultimately threatening the sustainability of the internet as a social network.
Balancing these competing interests is crucial for maintaining the internet's foundational values while also addressing the economic realities of operating online.
