Yet another example: The YouTube algorithm favoring long videos rather than good videos.
I'm convinced that's what lead to the success of TikTok. YouTube even introduced YouTube Shorts to compete with TikTok, while still having their algorithm favor long videos.

But in a way, it's comforting. There was a time when YouTube and these other companies seemed like unavoidable monopolies. Watching each of them bloat up and trip over their greed like clockwork, makes me feel much more optimistic for the future.

@lemming_7765 By contrast, the fediverse is all organic. But the content creators I follow are almost all non-existent.
