Taylor rips the utopian veneer off the internet age to expose who’s really cashing in on “sharing.” She argues that without structural change, the digital commons will keep replicating the old hierarchies — just with better branding. A sharp, humane call to reclaim culture from algorithms and turn the web back into a tool for people, not platforms.
