I've become increasingly convinced that the fanout model of modern social media, where anything sufficiently popular will be seen by everyone on the platform, is just fundamentally broken. Moderation debates are attempting to answer the question of "who should have global broadcast rights?", and the only answer people will really be happy with is "nobody".

I think that's a reasonable conclusion, yeah. Optimization for virality as the bottom line is a disaster.
