The digital landscape is a landfill. The latest GLAAD Safety Index shows X, YouTube, and Meta at historic lows. These companies are not experiencing technical glitches. They are actively stripping away the guardrails that kept users safe.

Profit requires friction. Friction requires rage. The platforms have realized that hate is cheaper than moderation. They have traded safety for engagement.

The decay is visible in every feed.

  • Algorithmic preference for harassment.
  • The systematic removal of safety staff.
  • The monetization of targeted attacks.
  • The abandonment of basic human decency for ad revenue.

The moderation era is over. We are just watching the rot spread.
