The problem is not info or misinfo but scarcity of attention.
Herbert Simon in 1971 - In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the Attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of Attention and a need to allocate that Attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
The current global attention allocation system is biased towards the biggest attentions craving characters on the planet And those who can buy the most ads.
