social media content discovery
social media sites have to balance "percent/frequency of new not-opted-in content"
(exploration : exploitation balance/tradeoff)
on one extreme, just seeing what you've opted into
...requires explicit "discovery time"
...don't see things you would like b/c you haven't opted in
on other extreme, purely algorithmic "opt-out"
...spend a lot of time getting recommended garbage and having to opt-out
a "good site" achieves a good balance
twitter, mostly opt-in, but, (exposed to new content via re-tweets, replies of your connections)
linked-in, feels too much "opt-out" (exposed to new content via likes, comments, replies of your connections)
facebook, I've opted-out of so many friends, there's nothing left
perhaps also need a better form of opt-out
instead of "don't show me stuff this person shared/liked/etc."
but... "don't show me shameless self-promotion"
