I was going to go with greed but instead I'm going to do echo chambers.

In my work (I'm a FOSS dev) I work with a lot of people that "don't go out much", not even on the internet. They are stuck with their group of likeminded people (often: discord or TG, but also X) and feel averse to anything that doesn't carry the confirmation bias of the groupthink. Algos on social media reinforce this and are anti-social by design, because a reinforced thought pattern, even if it's kinda insane, binds someone to the app for additional dopamine of "being right".

The solution is both simple and at the same time contains massive barriers: go mix with other people, other communities. Don't go shitcoining of course, find something else. There's forums for everything. Don't be afraid to be wrong and you'll get so much stronger.

Anything mobile phone related, I think. Social media, mobile games, anything that lets us attach to the screen wherever and whenever.

Don't get me wrong. I love computers, I love the internet, I love online stuff. But having it in your pocket everywhere you go can be incredibly damaging to both you as an individual and to social cohesion as a whole. You see it in the young kids who have attention spans of 5 seconds because they're so used to getting instant dopamine hits from their apps 24/7

Red tape comes to mind.

Doomscrolling and forever chasing the dopamine in the next video...

The government expect to do any and everything for people. No one wants to pay taxes and no one wants the government to tell them everything but people seem to love to expect that

Governance and legislation.

Less power from federal entities, distributed back more towards mayors, small town halls and even neighborhoods.

If the federal government encroaches on your way or life, you can't easily leave. If a town wants to go vegan and ban meat, you can move to the carnivore town, and everyone is happier.

Many companies are producing products: -with low quality (same price as before but bad plastic for example, -less food (smaller products (by size/gram), shifting a product to another cause cheaper (butter to peanut oil...)

Obviously not in the drug market

the corporations as systems of control become stronger as they scale up, at the expense of individual people; constituent people get weaker as a result and thus the collective consciousness also gets weak;

strive to scale down all systems to the level of a single man or woman (or small groups), and they shall become powerful beyond imagination; that's self-governance!

Weapons industry .

Endless scrolling. Getting to the bottom of a page of content used to be a great signal to move on. Now it just doesn't happen on so many sites.

Honestly? Customer service.

Remember when calling support lines meant talking to an actual human in your town/country and not yelling "REPRESENTATIVE!" into a phone tree or chatting with a confused bot halfway across the globe? Scaling up saved money for sure, but killed soul. Scale it back and suddenly you're not a ticket number, you're Mrs. X from Y Street again. It’s not nostalgic - yet, it’s just… humane.

Some things work better small. Like espresso shots. Or funerals. Or tech support. 😄
