What if getting an implant would guarantee you would make a million dollars every year for the rest of your life? It would give you much more knowledge than a Stanford education would give you. And many other super powers. I'll get one.

Yup. Many Influencers had networks of people who reshared each other's posts. They are almost wholly gone from my feed, which is good. But the whole system has changed now that AI is deciding what to distribute (and pay for). In some good, and some bad, ways.

It educates me and I can change it based on what things I think are being shared here that are valuable. Which I still do watch due to my lists and X Pro (which I pay a lot to use). Makes me wonder if X will keep those going for much longer too.
