I take that back the "lazy" comment - my mistake. In my defense, I haven't read those articles and came up with these ideas on my own.

Agreed re broadcast model - that's an important distinction too vs the classic follower model. This is why, despite my best efforts, I still see content from strangers on my twitter feed. They know it drives engagement.

> People, both influencers and users, will get burned out eventually.

I disagree - because the space here is endless. Influencers will churn out and users will move on to the next one. I don't think users will get burned out - their tastes will evolve. Each phase of life has its own content pool. I'll describe my own journey here: I got married this past year. In the lead up to that, there were tons of wedding planning videos. Now I get served a lot of married couple w/no kids content. That'll probably keep changing as I move through life.

This is an interesting observation. You are arguing that your taste for content will change preventing you from getting tired of the product.

My argument is more along the lines of the medium. People get bored of photos because it’s old and so they move on to short videos.

Both are non-conflicting. I do see how your argument will prolong the lifecycle of the product.

That's possible - video is definitely more enticing than photos and there's data out there to back that up among the general population. Perhaps people will get bored of videos one day - we'll see.
