    Anything that is topic focussed rather than following individuals is a big difference, and then take away the engagement algorithm and it’s much better.

      This is a good point. It’s like asking the question: “What is more important in politics? People, or ideas?”

      People respond very differently to that. To some it’s people, and to some it’s ideas. That is why you have Xitter-like microblogging which is focused around people, and reddit-like communities which are focused around topics/ideas.
