Haven’t thought about it, but this piece did make wonder if the situation has evolved, and whether recommender media are different in key ways from plain social media

every now and then i get sucked into the recommenders and 15 minutes later I'm like "holy shit!"

I think I have some natural immunity to recommender media. I basically never get sucked in.

just thinking now it would be interesting to know if recommenders flatten out the matthew effect or make it worse

That would be interesting. I would guess tiktok influencers are less stable than Instagram and knock each other off the top more often, since they don’t control distribution as directly
it just occurred to me that a recommender algo could probably target a particular tail exponent for virality by putting an artificial ceiling on any given piece of content
