Social spaces aren't something that needs fixing.

We blame the problems caused by wealth inequality on technology as a way to not even discuss making the rich contribute to society

they could still do with some fixing

What's the issue that you think social media is causing?

I'm willing to bet that wealth redistribution would fix almost any of the issues people blame on social media.

Ohh dude. That's a really interesting thought. Genuinely. I wonder if this could actually reap positive consequences. But also to be fair if your main aim is to proliferate through engagement (see shock), then there's no positive hope to have a good affect on the audience.
