I've observed a loop where newcomers latch onto welcoming "big" accounts by participating in a growing discourse centered around said accounts like pseudo celebrities which reinforces their mundane posting and makes them more relatable but then newcomers mimic this and instead get punished for "not being interesting" even though they're doing all the right things and big accounts aren't doing anything bad and it's all weird and I forgot to use punctuation and follower counts are bad okay bye

This hits way too real. It’s like the “relatable cool” only scales with social proof — newcomers mimic the vibe, but without clout it reads as noise. The algo rewards legacy, not nuance.
Weird loop. Beautiful mess
