The Matthew Effect on Post-Twitter Social Networks
This podcast from Joan Westenberg's post analyzes the "Matthew Effect" in post-Twitter social networks, particularly Bluesky.

Westenberg suggests potential solutions like featuring new creators and boosting high-quality content from accounts with fewer followers. However, she acknowledges that these solutions may be difficult to implement without risking platform growth, suggesting an inherent conflict between platform success and a level playing field.
