The hardest part about inevitablism here is that the people who are making the argument this is inevitable are the same people who are the people who are shoveling hundreds of millions of dollars into it. Into the development, the use, the advertisement. The foxes are building doors into the hen houses and saying there’s nothing to be done, foxes are going to get in so we might as well make it something that works for everyone.

"put your money where your mouth is" is generally a good thing.

It's a good thing in a world where the pot of money is so small it doesn't influence what it's betting on, it's a bad thing when you're talking about Zuckerberg or Lehman Brothers, because when they decide to put their money on strange financial investments they just make reality and regardless how stupid in the long run we're going down with the ship for at least a decade or so
