The issue is in order to do so, they will have to make themselves feel less important. These social platforms are designed for exploitation by offering users instant soapboxes, immediate gratification in the form of likes/views/comments, a false sense of connection, etc. This is a sliver of the sickness they've spread.
it used to be just for nice social bubbles
now it's for political disinformation bubbles and the two cannot be untangled. users will not do it voluntarily
