> It's scary to think that just 2 to 3 corporations have the power to construct a false reality around us

I do believe it's been this way for a while. Noam Chomsky wrote Manufacturing Consent in 1988. (There's a movie out there created in 1992 if you don't want to read the book). Basically the same factors at work then are the same factors at work today -- just escalated with an algorithm.

There is an objective reality -- it's just that people are too lazy to go find it.
