TikTok proved reco algos + A/B testing new content with small audiences is the winning formula years ago. Reverse Chrono feed sure why not but it is not necessary to have a healthy feed

yes but a couple of nuances: -this works for tiktok bc the nature of full-screen video means you get implicit +/- signal from users instantly (did they watch the whole thing? did they skip quickly?) - much harder to gauge these signals from tweet-style posts bc of multiple tweets on-screen simultaneously. users *must* like/comment/rt to indicate any sort of preference or signal imo, chrono feed is def an archaic artifact of early social products that had to use your social graph as a proxy to determine your interests. tiktok-style consumption is much more effective but in order for text-based products to leverage it, the UI must change substantially from what it is now.

with a massive userbase like TikTok, sure, maybe completely different product tho (shortform video) hard to say anything is "proved" in a space as diverse as social media no? if this was a proven fact why would Threads and Twitter still offer the chrono feed
