It seems that way, but not really hijacked for them. They were prevented from becoming freethinkers, academics, scientists and philosophers and have been molded back into CONSUMERS.
It was absolutely hijacked, it was MONETIZED. It was hijacked, because it was profitable, not
I know you remember, finding things that were intensely valuable concepts, absolutely worthless at market. We all knew eventually internet would simply become a consumable like television. News didnt have paywalls, then one day they did. TV Stations didnt have websites, and then they did.
All that exposure costs money and someones got to justify it with income, lots of it.
Its become the new TV. Everything is a product, especially you. Facebook feeds us to each other and pulls a commission (metaphorically).
The phones feed the assembly line, its not 'some website' its "how the phone works" ahhh indoctrination perfected
Even just a person whose primary station is an actual desktop or laptop, will see this dynamic from a different angle.
Factory looks different from behind the machines.
