> larger emphasis and encouragement being placed on people to not use those particular businesses

That doesn't work

Else, we would have seen that happen.

So how do we "encourage people to setup businesses"

It works when there on other viable businesses to use, Look at Social Media for instance while there are competitors to Twitter and Facebook like Gab for instance most of those competitors have been demonised by the press that has led to many people fearing that it would be culturally inappropriate to use them, We need to flip that culture around and actively encourage people to use these alternatives to big businesses

> competitors have been demonised by the press

That just seems like the markets interacting with eachother

And working. The free market press interacting with the free market social media.

People can say what they like. Freedom of speech and press.

Yes to an extent which is why we need to place further emphasis on the populace to ensure that wider culture is not affected as much by the Press

There seems like a lot of requirements for your system to work 🤔

It just needs a culture of entrepreneurship and a populace that is not influenced by media

Both of which were the case in the past

But not as much today

Which is the reason it is not working as well today

They were the case in the past

People have always been influenced by the media

More so in the past. Compared to today.

I am not talking 10 or 20 years ago

Yes. The media influenced them more then.

If we go back the Media still existed in a much smaller capacity and if you go back even further the media was barley even a thing let alone an influencer

The media has always been an influencer..

Not to this capacity

They were more so in the past..

I disagree

Nazi Germany funded radios for every German so that they could get state propaganda

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

The Media is at it's strongest today then it ever was in the US in the past

@Nathan James 123 And they funded those radios because most people before them did not have a radio to be influenced by the media

Most people before then got their news from newspapers, as the majority of people in Europe did.

*Newspapers which the Nazis had less control over, but I digress*

Yes and those were not as influential as current media

Yes, they were.

They were literally the only media out there.

If you wanted to know anything that was going on in your country, or the world then you read the newspaper...

Our 24/7 Online Media is much more of an influencer then newspapers were

Our media is much more diverse, there's was not.

So influence was much higher back then

You are assuming that the average person watches content from a diverse set of media companies

Most don't

The influence of the media was much more unified back then, compared to today which has a much more diverse opinion base and leanings
