  Why do social platforms inevitably turn into noise? Is it actually fixable?

  I keep seeing the same pattern: new platforms start interesting and human, then drift into spam, ragebait, and performance.

  My current theory is it’s not “users getting worse,” it’s incentives + ranking systems: the easiest content to measure and amplify is often the least meaningful.

  So I’m curious what you think is actually true:
  • Is “signal over noise” impossible at scale?
  • If it is possible, what design choices would you bet on? (smaller rooms? explicit user controls? chronological + filters? friction for reposting? no public metrics?)

  Genuinely asking, I’m trying to understand whether this is a law of nature or a solvable design problem.
