    You could indeed argue that lemmy follow similar patterns, for example threads posted in popular subs predates all other content. If you ask me this is a big problem and the result of a design shaped around advertising and content manipulation inherited from reddit.

    Hell, the website I get knitting patterns from has the same situation. The top 1% of designers make all the dough. But it's great to have a platform that anybody can submit patterns to. The top designers pay the bills and they keep people coming back.

    The platforms also create the new top designers/performers by letting new talents submit for free.

    Like live streaming, Twitch have no clue who's going to become big and who'll stay at 2 concurrent viewers. But you need to let everyone try, to be able to have the few that rises to the top
