I think PoB stopped being a thing well before I got here. I distinctly remember a lot of the people I met years ago would complain their content was “better” than the content that was getting the most upvotes.

If people have not been following PoB but people were told this chain was about PoB, I can see why it was frustrating for some people.

Yes, PoB has been dead for a while but pieces of the puzzle that would shift us from that paradigm did not exist yet. I can also see why that limbo would frustrate some people.

KE ratio, commentrewarder, topcomment, POSH, short form content. These are all relatively new and did not exist a few years ago.

I was also moving to curating like this naturally, but the thing that made the idea concrete in my head was the QnA we had with @ecoinstant yesterday and some of the discussions I had today about AI.
