The internet used to be a garden. We were the flowers,growing, creating, sharing. But the soil never belonged to us. Every platform fenced us in. They decided who saw our work, when our reach expanded, and when it vanished. Our “followers” weren’t ours,they belonged to the algorithm. And our data were sold quietly to advertisers, traded behind closed dashboards. We were the product packaged as creators.
