Many of the issues you describe are not specific to algorithmic feeds, and have persisted in broadcast media for decades.

$70 billion paid to content creators and media companies in the last 3 years via revenue sharing. Not strictly content development, since the content is already developed when the revenue is generated, but it surely has a huge impact on the investment in content, which is controlled by creators.

Happy 2025!

Tell me something you think I should know but don't. I love to learn!

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Frosty, with your frozen glow,
Guide my sleigh through ice and snow!"

Oh, how the snow gals loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
"Frosty the Snowmanโ€™s glow-job
Saved Christmas night, you see!"

...And though it wasnโ€™t Rudolphโ€™s,
It could light up when it froze.

Olive, the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names,
Till Frosty showed his glow-job
Could guide the sleigh the same.
