All forms of free information are being used to manipulate you. Consider the incentives behind free information. Are they earning ad revenue by manipulating you into buying something? Are they earning your vote by manipulating what you believe? What else?

Information is produced at a cost. They are not producing this for you for no reason. What they have to gain is to control you.
A way to resolve this is to make all costs transparent. Know who is creating the information. Know what that are gaining from it. Know how you are paying for it and in what form.
Nonsense. I share information because it feels good. Water fasting is not healthy, nothing beats a consistent wholesome lifestyle. Buy a pressure cooker and go for 10 cups of cooked vegetables a day, w protein of course.. I used to fast. I no longer need 2
Every second of our conscious experience spent is compensated in some form or another. We are primarily rewarded for online energy exertion in the form of base instinctual expression (negativity expended on others, etc.) hence the cesspool of Twitter.
A transparent and analyzable record of of transactions in terms of their monetary value allows us to come face to face with the real world cost (monetary) of our online presence. I’m most excited for the companies that will present this data to the public
The monetary measurement simply puts the value of the moments of our lives into a mode that we relate to. Thoreau’s argument about travelling to a nearby town via train or walking captures it well.We don’t realize that money spent=the time we spent to earn
If you haven't seen it, watch The Great Hack on Netflix. Puts all the pieces together nicely. It was better than I expected.
Pls Consider: not everyone has 100,000 follower-problems on Twitter. Twitter, when done correctly, for readers, is much much more effective than reading the WSJ, Wash Post, or any other form of MSMedia. Realize U have it tuffer due to relative fame but...
For an example of “nothing in response” see G+ after no one engaged in it.
...you get a dopamine hit. Why would you freely share truly valuable information?
I guess you could say that sharing truly valuable information with people you like is meaningful, rather than expedient. To improve the world around you.
The irony to everything i just said is catching up with me —> Is self knowledge a good enough reward for these messages or will I be wallowing in sorrow until someone likes what I had to say. Okay done 😁
Does it still feel good to share if you get nothing in response? Perhaps those individuals are producing information in order to sell you diet books. Then using followers as a multi tier marketing strategy where as a reward for passing on the meme...
@658 I’m curious to know if you think you get that good feeling from the sharing itself or the corresponding social consequences such as likes, follows, and other dopamine and serotonin actuators such as an elevation in your social hierarchy?
Who controls twitter? Why they block some folks like CSW?

The mind is a manipulator and also a genius. It is a super computer. Always Active. Discernment is the wisdom of the operator. choose wisely.
the manipulation is exhausting.
@315 the gift is in the giving, extending truth, extending love, feels good, regardless of what follows. you are a seeker of truth, surely you love to share it.. no need to monetize... ryan here has also shared his information here for free.. motivations?
@385 considering your first message again. Should I pay to see the information you share with this in mind? Else you may be manipulating me. After all you did pay to post those words and have them appear in front of me (and others). Thinking is fun.
