The useful mental model.
Start with the part that changes what you actually do or expect when you meet this concept in everyday digital life.
Where the leverage lives
Separate discovery, audience relationship, payment and publishing. The same creator can depend on four different systems for those four jobs.

Algorithmic Feed
A continuously updated stream of posts or media ranked by a recommendation system rather than shown only in simple chronological order.
