## Resource

The internet began as a research network. It was built to move facts between people who needed to verify one another. The social era translated that spirit into a single public square and promised that connection would produce clarity. What it produced at scale was a feed. The feed made attention cheap and trust fragile. Today, trust in news sits around 40 percent and younger audiences reach for creators and closed groups before they reach for institutions. That is not a moral failure. It is a structural outcome of how we built discovery and reward.
