The algorithm is totally opaque code and some some social media already limits your posts to a part of your subscribers and even not hide that: you have to pay for reaching … your subscribers .

I do feel for artists who have to try to make their living like this but at the same time I wish more artists (not just pepper and carrot) would bring their content to federated networks - to grow another social option and audience for their work. Same thing goes for companies who only use AdWords / fb etc.
