All the things they are doing, and subsequently competitors are doing, are supposed to be to encourage better content and yet it seems to have the opposite effect of simply having the same tired shit circulated around and around again, because something novel and unique doesn’t get as much engagement as a mildly humorous shitpost.
Its not to encourage better content. It’s to min-max the amount of time and variety of ads that are on your screen. Business is never about making good content these days, because there is no longer a financial incentive to do so. People will consume regardless of its quality.
The end goal of capitalism is never to produce a product or service. It is to produce a profit, full stop, no questions asked. The information age was doomed from the start once they realized it enabled profits without a product.
