Discovery here IS bad, and — I hate to say it — the solution to that is an (entirely optional) algorithm that surfaces potential follows and compelling content right out of the gate.

Algorithms aren’t inherently evil. Hell, “show posts in reverse chronological order” is in itself an algorithm.

What matters are 1) choice and 2) the intention with which the algorithm was designed.
