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

I won’t speak for others only for myself. Just as you’ve observed this pattern, I’ve noticed it too, and perhaps I’m experiencing something similar. But to this day, I still haven’t figured out what exactly I’m supposed to do about it
