Just imagine: the only bastion of information was your local library. Granted, information in libraries is curated and of substantially higher quality than the unfiltered garbage that you can encounter on the internet... but who was really going to libraries that often back in the day? Information was sparse, and that was exploited to manipulate people to an uncanny degree.
Even worse imo. Makes you feel like you are in control of the content you find when for the vast majority of people you are not.
That's okay. Reality often isn't easy to digest. I don't like the human species most of the time either. But if you want to create systems that redistribute wealth, knowledge, etc then first we must understand the reality of what we are dealing with.
And this has nothing to do with elitism. You just pulled the simplest term you could think of in order to justify for yourself why you're right and don't like the words I wrote. Now in your head you can attach my words to elitism and convince yourself that elitism is bad, rather than substance of the actual words I said.
It's okay. We all think like this.
