I understand that. But it is still ok. If everyone had immediate reach, it would require everyone else spend the majority of their time filtering through content.

You can either filter through slow organic growth or through algorithms. The available attention is fixed. Slow organic growth allows more people to have a small influence rather than a small number of people having a large influence.

I'd rather watch content from a local cabinet maker from whom I could buy physical goods than to have Mr Beast algorithm garbage sucking up the oxygen.

It is all what we want to incentivize.
