I don't think they help against this any more than regular sun glasses. Reflectacles are designed to reflect Infrared, while this program is based on ai video analysis.
Why? You can buy everything you could buy 50 Years ago. And you have a lot more options now. Sure, the standart american diet is terrible, but you don't have to eat that stuff.
Reminds me of Nick Szabo's blog post "The trouble with books". You can get a lot more thought per word by prioritising shorter content from different authors. If you don't find any let an Ai read the book for you and summarize the Key concepts.
I think the algos and general ingroup vs outgroup thinking made opposition on legacy platforms ineffective anyway.
We just need to keep letting people know, that other views exist. When they are ready to listen, they will find us where ever we are.
What do you classify as social Media? Without YouTube I would not have found Bitcoin or been as insprired to take care of my health and fitness. But it also took away many hours that I could have used to learn important skills.
I doubt there is a single "independently verifyable objective truth that everyone agrees on".
There are always some crazy people who will disagee with even the most obvious truths out there. And throughout history there were many cases where both the majority and the experts have been proven wrong.
So instead we should focus on verifyabiliy and objectivity.
Nothing in life is verifyable to the same degree for everyone. If I don't run my own node I can't verify if I actually own any Bitcoin. If I run my own node I still trust in the source code to be honest with me. If I learn to read the code I still have to trust that my computer is actually running that code and not malicious softare inserted by an attacker. So ultimately verifyabiliy breaks down to something being highly probable and it is often impossible or highly impractical to fully verify something as truth.
I guess the best approach is to verify as much as reasonable and to be open for new evidence to present itself. And that is exactly what the early christians did. They heard about some guy who was crucified and came back to life. So they verified as much as possible, they spoke to eyewitnesses, checked the existing scriptures and came to the conclusion that god raised him from the dead. The greek word "pistis" which is often translated as "faith" was originaly understood as "being persuaded/convinced by argument".
So contrary to your claim christianity is actually based on verification instead of bindly following an idea no one can agree on.
For some reason I only see current pupular notes most of the time. Sometimes the other ones are available too, but I can't rely on that. Any Idea why? I'm already on "global" #asknostr
Note to self:

German here, havn't heard of Nostr outside of a Bitcoin context here. But a few influential accounts have switched entirely from X to Nostr.

Yes, that's how channels work: Imagine a string with pearls on it. As you push some of your pearls towards your partner he now has some pearls he can push back to you.
