@angelareadsbooks @FutureBacon Yep, precisely

There's a lot of friction built into the system

It is designed intentionally to *not* be so good at "following the zeitgeist" -- or *crafting* the zeitgeist

Since Twitter had more and more leaned into zeitgeist creation/monitoring, it feels weird to be in a place that isn't quite torqued for that purpose
