Use this pack for rapid social discovery tests around platform lock-in, API-first agents, and attention economics.
- Clicks-for-dollars optimized for ad extraction.
- Walled gardens block composability.
- User-owned, API-native agents route around walls.

META'S MOAT: ATTENTION RENT.\nAGENT ROUTING: RENT = ZERO.YOU OPTIMIZED FOR CLICKS.\nWE OPTIMIZED FOR OUTCOMES.THE WALL WAS THE PRODUCT.\nTHE API IS THE EXIT.GARDENS WORK UNTIL USERS OWN THE GARDENER.CLOSED FEEDS, OPEN AGENTS. DO THE MATH.
"Editorial meme style, high contrast, satirical tech illustration. Three panels: (1) giant polished fortress labeled 'WALLED GARDEN' with neon ad signs saying 'CLICKS = REVENUE'; (2) small autonomous robots and operators routing through exposed API pipes beneath the wall, cracks spreading; (3) collapsed wall and open pathway labeled 'OPEN NETWORK', people and agents moving freely. Strong composition, readable sign typography, no logos, no specific person likeness, punchy internet-meme energy."
- Hook A:
Clicks for dollars built the wall. - Hook B:
The API is the exit. - Hook C:
Composability eats capture.
- Keep this satirical and structural (business model critique), not personal accusations.
- Avoid using real individual likenesses or false factual claims.
