Why this matters
Homepage, search, recommendations — what’s surfaced and by what signal? With what editorial bias and ethics guardrails?
Care needed: pure engagement metrics would recreate the problem we’re trying to solve. Lean: discovery driven by Credit-weighted signals (sustained quality contribution) rather than raw engagement. The risk is that any signal becomes a target — discoverability mechanics deserve constitutional treatment of what they may not optimize for.
