I believe that there is a similar dynamic when it comes to startup funding; those who receive all the big rounds of funding drown out those which don't. A lot of our economic problems can be explained by saturation. Too much attention, too much money, too many opportunities and too much power going to a select group of people which deprive everyone else of those things.
It's hard for those who control such platforms to resist promoting their friends, acquaintances and (more generally) ideas that serve their personal interests.
