Listen now | Noah Smith & Brad DeLong's 30:00 < [Length of Weekly Podcast] < 60:00: Key Insights: —There are a great many reasons to fear that the rise of industrial and post-industrial economic concentration is doing serious harm to the market economy’s (limited) ability to function as an efficiency-promoting societal calculating mechanism. —None of these have yet been nailed down. —But the neo-Brandeisians will have their chance because of the striking misbehavior of the tech platforms, which have thought too much about how to glue their users’ eyeballs to the screen so they can be sold ads and too little about how to make users and others happy and comfortable with their business models. —That is, the neo-Brandeisians will have their chance to the extent that they are not blocked by justices who know little of the law and less of economics. —Hexapodia!
One other comment: How come there was never any outrage that the local newspaper would not publish your letter to the editor or the local or even national TV or radio station would not give you air time for your opinions???

I want to pass along my experience with the Facebook ad bot.
It can be trained. I trained it to understand that I will not tolerate ads on my FB feed.
It takes a bit of effort but it can be done.
I found out how to do it by trial and error.
I also do not try to be an "influencer" by using FB as a public forum.
I use it as another email or POTS to communicate funny political comments with family and friends.
I use the local community page to communicate funny cat/dog/horse videos.
