I get a malformed sense of hope anytime the medium gets even more worse in some way or something blows up and collapses

After so long, I have started to believe that there is no way back as there are just too many people who don't care and will continue to buy into them. The only thing you can do is go forward through the nightmare or actively accelerate it so there is a chance for a collapse. Ideally, once everything is so full of shit people will either just walk away, or be unable to participate in the medium, causing a more permanent shift in people's views and actions.
This is all likely just wishful thinking.
