Fascinating "When an account with 219 million followers interacts with a smaller one — not by blocking or arguing, but simply by muting — the consequences are immediate. The smaller account’s visibility drops from 150,000 views to 20,000 overnight. No notice. No rule broken. Dimmed into irrelevance." https://rook2root.co/articles/20250424-manufacturing-consensus-on-x

Wow, that is crazy that an individual would have that much influence over the entire network.

Thanks for sharing. This points out some pretty harsh truths about the current state of social content: - "Dimmed into irrelevance." - "Social proof [is] ...triggered not by consensus, but by proximity to influence." - "What people see feels organic. In reality, they’re engaging with what’s already been filtered, ranked, and surfaced." - "Perception shaped at scale...doesn’t just distort attention. It steers outcomes." - "What’s not shown might as well not exist."

"Social proof used to reflect crowd wisdom. Now it reflects algorithmic endorsement — triggered not by consensus, but by proximity to influence." TRUTH. Thanks for sharing!
