I joined the guys from the Spin State Podcast for nearly three hours of social media heresy: why algorithms have turned “social” media into outrage machines, why creators keep getting jerked around by platforms they helped build, how bots and AI are making the internet progressively less human, and why I built Pickax to go in the opposite direction. We get into censorship, creator monetization, Rumble, Facebook, X, Apple’s App Store shenanigans, the economics of building a social platform, and quite a few rabbit trails that probably seemed like a good idea at the time. The bigger question is simple: What happens when technology stops serving human beings and starts training them? Pickax is my attempt to make social media social again.
