I really like this and would like to continue seeing posts like this every month (or every few months) . It pretty much eliminates my need to check Facebook. Perhaps you could do another one for EA Twitter?
I didn’t realize how many mid posts the algorithm has been curating out for me… :{ I didn’t finish scrolling. Felt inefficient.
Broad input (low production-quality) narrow output (extensively filtered by extended curation systems) is probably the main reason memes were ever considered to be good. Without curation, it’s… well it’s almost literally not “memes” at that point, as they’re not doing the thing where they propagate and reproduce and compete.
I definitely don’t spend 2 hours a day scrolling facebook, though I may spend about that long scrolling twitter (mostly miserably but occaisonally I see something really useful).
I think I’d do that even if there were no algorithm, though. There isn’t one in my twitter list of consistently good accounts, nor in mastodon, I still check these things often, they are not much less juicy. People often say that twitter was designed to be addictive. It mostly wasn’t designed at all. It was selected. And most of that “addiction” is just a craving for a thriving social space online.

This is genuinely a public service. Thanks.
