Curation is something we intrinsically favor over engagement algorithms. Noisy is easy to quantify, but greatness is not. Greatness might have a lag in engagement metrics while folks read or watch the material. It might provoke consideration, instead of reaction.
Often we need seasons of production in order to calibrate our selection criteria, and hopefully this season of booming generation leads to a very rich new opportunity to curate great things to elevate from the noise.
