I think the problem with social media is there is just a lot of noise, and generally had a discoverability issue. I would like to be recommended people that I want to follow (and have what I put out be recommended to people).

I mean do we really need to remember the Facebook posts that people were making 10ish years ago that really was pointless?

That being said, that's the power of having some choice in the matter. If you don't want it, you don't need to use it. Both can be perfectly valid ways to consume social media content.
