Can the algorithms be changed to prevent Pareto outcomes from occurring?
Most content is arbitrary anyway so no real cultural value discovery is occurring with these algorithms IMO, just chance and feedback loops.

But that is objectively speaking.
Objectively we all have great tools:
* Free Will
* Agency
* Locus of control
and more. Choose wisely.
That's the wrong interpretation. The reason why the top only fan girl gets 10x more revenue than the penultimate only fans girl is because she's marginally better, so more people flock to her. This works because her marginal cost of production is zero, so her having 10x the fans doesn't cost her 10x the work. The same applies to other professions where the marginal cost is zero. I doubt the average NFL player signing multi-million dollar contracts are hundreds/thousands of times better than the amateur player, but because sports leagues wants to hire the best, the top players get a disproportionate amount of money chasing after them.
