This Friday at 3pm ET, I’m hosting an AMA with @eugene in this channel! He’s an incisive student of tech, authoring classics like Status as a Service and Seeing like an Algorithm. Ask him about social networks, consumer product, and insights from his years as a product exec at Oculus, Hulu, and Flipboard!

That is, TikTok was revolutionary for unbounding distribution for creators. Regardless of your follower count, you could get infinite distribution. But this leads to power-law style distributions of who gets distribution. This is counter to building healthy community.
