Reply To: What if social media platform was designed to reward depth of thinking?

I think the problem is that every platform optimizes for engagement, but engagement isn’t the same as attention. What if instead of likes and shares, the core metric was literally how long people spend watching your content? And not in a hidden algorithmic way — in a visible, real-time way. Like a countdown timer that the audience directly controls. That would completely change what kind of content people create.
