    Algorithms doesn’t change much. Back in the days when we used mostly forums, and chats, and… all without algorithms, we had the same trend with quality and quantity. The quality went lower with the number of people using them. The small niche forum maintained the quality and for some are still up. The biggest quickly shrink.

    The same applied to the first social media and the newer.

      An algorithm that prioritizes quality (instead of engagement) DOES change it though. Let’s not pretend that all algorithms are the same.

        Let’s not pretend that all algorithms are the same.

        But if we don’t, how can we act superior to people who use algorithm based platforms? /s
