    I think this is how Twitter currently works. Users share informative information, than an influencer encapsulates it, while another influencer comes along and encapsulates it again but without reducing the length of the prior encapsulation. It’s roughly analogous to video-sharing platforms and reaction videos, however unlike those we can’t rule out the text isn’t an LLM.

      This is huge. A commenter on Lemmy just discovered this simple hack that has been plaguing social media since the 90s. Read to the end to understand how. So this Lemmy commenter replied to another comment–this is so unchained, this is why I love social media–that was itself a reply to an image of some other replies originally spotted Garfield on reddit. They found that you can get people already primed for scrolling to read pretty much anything as long as you provide an engaging emotional framing for the pointless content.
