That's an interesting idea to have a Time To Live attached to things you can share, so it will stay in your close network.

However, who would like to use a platform where things can not go viral ? Certainly not advertisers. This is an impossible conundrum.

I actively try to avoid content that's "gone viral".

I've come to the conclusion that (to a first approximation) anything that the masses want to share, I don't want to see.

I don't disagree with you, but it is hard to tell if social media platform are developed primarily for their end users or for advertisers.
