David Molina explains how social media feeds now prioritize high-engagement posts from strangers over content from people you follow. If you have a distinctive idea, the algorithm makes it flammable and spreads it fast. If you don't, you get drowned out.
Open up your feed right now and you're gonna notice that most of the posts that you see are by people that you don't follow. They're strangers, and there's typically often very high engagement posts. They're very entertaining, and that's not the way it used to work. Before, you used to see mostly only posts about people that you already knew or, or you already followed. So this is terrible news for people without ideas, but it's great news if you can find yours, because individual ideas are more flammable now.
