These facts are related. "starter packs" only work if you're cultivating a very narrow social bubble of users, which is the same reason bluesky is declining now.
Unbubbled people have a wide range of interests and preferences that cannot be captured in a few "starter packs".
I kind of feel like G+ got this right the best. It was great being able to subscribe to a circle of pixel artists, chili cooks, whatever niche etc.
For me the golden age of social media. Lots of niche hobby discussion and not a lot of noise.
