About user input, where the users can moderate contents by tools (like upvote/downvote).

I think that the user feedback is sometimes very dangerous. Corporation XY releases trailer, users do not like it. Trailer is review bombed. People running corporation are angry, they do not want downvotes.

There are several things that can be done to solve that "problem". For one: you can remove transparency. If things are not transparent it is easier to "fool" users, boost some things that should not be, or limit reach of things that are correct, true, but undesirable by the big tech.

I think that is the main reason why social media feels muddied, user input does not seem to matter that much.

It is hard to push content on mainstream media, if it is transparent that the quality of the thing you are pushing is mediocre.
