The social contract was that everyone was a custodian of that library. That's how we got Wikipedia.

Social media and monetization broke that social contract. Another building was constructed beside the library. People were checking out books from the library and selling them at the market.

Now with LLMs, those books are being burnt. There's a trillion dollar giga-sized building next to the derelict library and the fast becoming defunct market that is industrial scale mass producing pulpy books.
