Can the algorithms be changed to prevent Pareto outcomes from occurring?

Most content is arbitrary anyway so no real cultural value discovery is occurring with these algorithms IMO, just chance and feedback loops.

It's actually not Pareto's but more like "Normal Distribution" and that is something embedded in Nature/Society that one can't change or eradicate. It's just the way things work, the natural dynamics.

But that is objectively speaking.

Objectively we all have great tools:

* Free Will

* Agency

* Locus of control

and more. Choose wisely.

Yeah, is the top only fans girl really 10x or whatever more valuable than the penultimate only fans girl? Same for the arts. Same for most market segments whose products are artfully differentiated to prevent the customer from commoditising them mentally.
