how about only following people that you met in person? i mean it doesn't even make sense to me to follow someone i don't know unless they actually produce interesting content. such as say viheart or nileblue or even mr beast if you must. is it possible that any of these could decide to sell out and start producing content using AI? sure. but will they be able to fool everyone?

the problem is a lack of ability to recognize worthwhile content, a lack of critical consumption. there is also be a problem to find good content among the mass of junk. but that's already a problem now. i have mostly given up. i find new content mostly through HN.

the problem will be that a lot of good content will remain undiscovered.

so let me make this claim in response: the next big social media platform will be the one that will make it easy to discover actually good content as opposed to popular content.
