> It's still not a conspiracy. Those are all local responses to incentives. The incentive structure, the system, is what determines the outcome, not the players.
But that incentive structure is exactly what has been centralized these days (through monopoly platforms, whether it's apps or video or music). Arguably, the conspiracy is the design of the algorithms on these platforms.
It’s a big network of feedback loops. You get what the incentive structure incentivizes.
