The incentive for large platforms to create more local-based community front pages is that it's one of the last chances for them to survive longer... Creators are getting worn out on the manipulation of their visibility and other issues caused by only having one real "for you" page on every social site. It boosts ad revenue temporarily for apps to have everyone compete, but users are finding that spending on ads does little in return for their long-term success, as they compete for attention with others that have a lot more money and resources than they do.

Primarily though, I'm also referring to musicians needing to scale down to building local communities and their own web sites again (like the old days with message boards etc, but updated to add similar/good features and functionality of modern social media sites). So that visibility is not based on fruitless payola.

If musicians pull back in protest to these limitations, there would likely be a swift response from platforms in order to retain and reward creators properly, the challenge would be holding platforms to proper account for all the obscene profit they make off of currently unpaid work of independent creators.
