some thoughts and questions given recent news re: "interesting content," changes to how channels work to me, social platforms are marketplaces with "buyers" and "sellers" (in this case, of content) - creators are "sellers" of their content goods - enjoyoors / vibing / curators are "buyers" as a content creator type on fc, i have expressed my concerns that the current fc algorithms punish new users too hard, which reduces possible audience sizes and makes the place not attractive to content creator types (and not fun for content consumers either!) (i also want to emphasize that i myself am a "buyer" on other platforms like instagram, youtube, etc.! there is no value judgement to be either and we often play both roles.) so what if instead, *user intent* is composable? similar to how in role-playing games, you can play as characters with diff types of specialization and it's set "per session," since sometimes I want to broadcast and share my content, and other times, support my friends with theirs

how would you capture user intent - explicit opt in at the start of sessions or infered from activity during the session? Interesting point though - not sure what it solves as the new audience issue truly will be solved with just scale.

I was imagining an intentional toggle 🤔 of course the trade off is user friction tho…and agree, all this noodling is pointless if no one new is coming in
