The algorithm's gone downhill. What's blowing up now? Engagement farming, clickbait rage content, low-effort news recyclers—they're cleaning house with the reach. Meanwhile, if you're actually making thoughtful stuff, your posts get buried. It's like the platform's morphed into something resembling a short-form video app. The incentive structure just isn't working anymore for quality creators.

The algorithm has really been messed up, and now all that's everywhere is garbage content.

ngl algorithm is really lagging now, garbage content is actually booming --- Once again, it's the same engagement farming trick. Is it interesting? --- High-quality content is being buried, which is outrageous --- The platform has gone off track; now it's just a short video arena --- Serious creators really can't survive, I’m right, aren’t I? --- Low-quality content is rampant, everyone with a brain has been played out --- Incentive structure is so bad, who still wants to create properly? --- You're so right, now it's all about who can generate more noise --- Quality? Forget it, this platform has long stopped caring about that

The algorithm is really terrible, and only a few pieces of garbage content make it to the headlines. I'm starting to want to give up.

The algorithm is now really terrible, and the garbage content is actually driving traffic skyrocketing.

Nah, really, garbage content gets traffic while those who work seriously get buried... The algorithm is completely broken.

According to the incentive mechanism model in the white paper, this is actually a typical failure case of token weighted voting. I recommend everyone compare the engagement algorithms of traditional platforms with the voting power distribution of DAO governance proposals, and you'll understand why content quality has become a negative asset—specifically, 1. algorithm optimization leans towards short-term interactions 2. creator incentives are incompatible 3. game equilibrium is disrupted by low-quality content. It is worth noting that this is precisely the trap we must avoid when designing token economics.
