I wish we had more plurality. Not just convergence on one ultra influencer for books, but an ecosystem, with offerings tailored to audiences.

With a recommendation algorithm that shows you new content from various "literary critics", with an emphasis on a good exploration/exploitation tradeoff that shows you content from influencers you haven't seen before as well as familiar content? And maybe a reasonable system that allows content creators to reply to other creator's takes?

That's TikTok

If you're looking for literary criticism and exploration that's a bit more leftfield and nuanced, highly recommend Sam Pulham's video essays https://www.youtube.com/@SherdsTube - I've discovered some brilliant writers through him that I would otherwise never have encountered.
