How do you know it isn't actually Eden, but you just focus on all the wrong things to see it?

It's more about Internet speeds I think. When I download I can almost always get whatever near instantly from hundreds of active seeders. There's simply not enough demand to tax the networks to the point they need to connect to small timers like me, I imagine.

I rarely even get anyone requesting a single byte, regardless of how long I leave torrents open.

It's pretty hard these days to even get some seeding done on most things I look at.

Trying to push the entire world's population into the same spaces. Sometimes, it actually does make sense to have spaces specifically for those with common experiences, like men's and women's spaces, or nationally segregated political spaces.

Social media NEEDING new content by the minute simply in order to survive.

Heavy reliance on volunteer moderation.

Bingo.

The only people you actually end up reaching are people with good intentions who don't need to hear it in the first place. "Stop taking advantage of people" is a message which can usually be dispensed only by force. The moral panic over "toxic masculinity" did very little to affect those who actually caused problems, but a great deal to disenfranchise those who would actually make bad actors stop taking advantage of others.
