My own thoughts? Perhaps giving every idiot a platform on which to make big money, for essentially doing nothing productive, wasn't such a great idea? Here you have a case of an individual who found an easy way to make money, just keep generating the views. However, when her content starting going over the top, moderation had to be enforced, thus cutting off her relatively cheap and easy revenue stream.
The result cannot be what any of the tech folks could have ever envisioned. I think some very serious oversight and regulations are on the very near horizons for the social media companies.
If stupid people makes money with it, it is just because more stupid people are watching them.
This is a consequence not a cause.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
