Attention is not the problem; it's the lack of accountability. Social platforms care about engagement, not quality of content (there's virtually no mechanism to incentivize content meets any standard of quality other than what can be measured in the moment).

Quality is subjective, but there’s no accountability about harmful or illegal content either, so platforms don’t only promote “general purpose” spam, but actively harmful content that intentionally seeds outrage or encourages violence as that generally leads to more engagement.

Absolutely, it should include a range of indicators like spam, scams, known-falsehoods and unsubstantiated claims.

Quality is subjective? Is it information or a product? Or is all information now a product?
