If I had to argue in the negative, I could say it could shift focus from what is the best content, to the network effect of what *other people are looking at.*

Seems pretty easy to observe how much of content and connections occur completely reactionary to the social sphere. “Oh look 100k people follow this person, I should follow them.” And then you get this sort of feedback loop circle jerk where people who might not even have good content or interesting things to say have massively growing reach *because* they have massive reach.

Kind of like in fiat finance how the only companies that get loans are the ones that are already massive, therefore they are the most likely to simply keep up with inflation & make nominal gains, then the smaller, promising, truly innovative competitors get drowned under bigness for the sake of bigness.

Anyway that would be my counter argument. @jack might have been suggesting a completely different idea 😆
