Yes, TikTok and Instagram...some of the most valuable media, entertainment and communication businesses in history.
I can't tell. Are you countering OP's point or pointing out that slop is a lucrative business?
Look the reality is yes Instagram and TikTok have extremely problematic incentives built into their products. But they're also remarkably useful, entertaining, and fun products too. Both are true.
Do you think multi-billion-user products can exist without "slop"? What do you think the average person wants to consume? The equivalent of salad? Have you met the average person?
I think people have fundamental misconceptions of the average person's desire.
