That's why https://bookwyrm.social/ is so interesting; as part of the Fediverse, this can't happen.

So true.

And so sad.

And now excuse me while I dream of a world where gifted creators can build a flourishing web gathering space where it can thrive and grow and not be then harvested by the borg that encapsulates viewers as nothing but breathing credit card tokens.
