an algorithm which uses inherently flawed primitives is flawed no matter how much :
- mutes/reports: inherently personal, and can be used by attackers
- follows: content interest != reputabulity
- likes/engagement: even worse than follows, someone could spam and you only see 1 good post you like
the current algorithms are too shallow and assume a relatively static environment where everything has already been bootstrapped
