Not enough interesting people. Most of the early accounts on here just aren’t very interesting people, at least to the broader world. Many of those accounts became enshrined here as tastemakers. Result is that cringe-y hustle-y, crypto-y people who aren’t interesting in the bigger world do well here in this small one. Which then repels many new people (interesting and not).

It's a neat and tidy theory but I don't buy it. The founders and early members of Fark, Reddit, Digg, Twitter, Facebook, etc. weren't particularly interesting either - or at least I've never seen anything suggesting they were. Rather, the platforms solved a need that people had.

I disagree, we didn’t actually “need” it but they designed it so every like delivers a dopamine hit and now we’re addicted 😅
