Is it controversial to say capital should be reserved businesses that need it to grow, not expended on random social media posts? And the monetization of everything is unnecessary and leads to a less genuine atmosphere?

Not controversial at all. It seems like common sense that gets lost in the noise. Capital should support real progress, not vanity metrics. But social media often rewards the opposite. Not every part of the internet needs to be squeezed for profit. Sometimes things can just exist. It feels rare to hear this said openly. At some point, we started focusing on attention instead of real results. It's hard to blame individuals; the incentives are broken. But it's good to acknowledge it.

And it can even hurt a community. I remember thinking about this years ago when Steemit came out and the content felt so bland and "lowest common denominator" as everyone worked to get the most likes possible.

It seems like every “earn to post” model since has faced the same problem. People end up writing for the algorithm instead of for each other. When social platforms become financial games, they lose their feel as spaces to share and instead become places to hustle. That’s not great for people.

Incentives change the culture quickly, and often not for the best. It’s tough to build real communities when everyone is just chasing points. The moment you attach money to attention, creativity gets reduced to what garners the most clicks. It seems like we keep learning this lesson with every new platform.
