In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

Building a sign on a highway is also gaze farming.

It is. Would you agree that it is a bit less problematic than social media gaze farming?

Once upon a time, back when broadcast tv was how most people consumed media, governments recognized that advertisers on tv needed to be regulated, there were limits on how much advertising could be crammed into an hour. But as ‘gummint regulation bad’ we’ve allowed an entire generation to grow up enthralled by 24/7 gaze farming on their phones. This was a really bad idea.
