It wouldn't surprise me. It seems like a mirror of the social media move from social graphs to recommendation engines. You are either producer or consumer and never shall consumer be promoted organically.

Search used to feel more like infrastructure: put something useful on the web, link to it, and eventually people could find it

The answer is simple. Limit your time on social media the way you'd be limiting a child and focus on IRL interactions.

  • What if I want to spend my time discussing things that are not represented in my geographical region?

  • I also find IRL social interactions also want pacing to some degree. But I don't know, I find my brain is sort of wired for these sorts of novel, pseudonymous interactions from a young age.
