Views vs engagement rate
Each dot is a post. Two mechanisms visible: throttled (high views, low engagement) and buried (low views regardless of quality).
Dot size = interactions.
The magenta line shows what a buried post would have generated at equal reach.
Flagged posts
Posts where engagement rate fell below 0.82% (50% of median).

Last week Anthropic dropped Claude Mythos. My robotics ETF then dropped 10% overnight. This year their announcements have moved cybersecurity stocks. They've moved legal stocks. Now they're moving the broader market. Whatever Anthropic is building (or just marketing), it is rearranging who makes money π

Threads crossed 400 million monthly active users and quietly overtook X in daily actives. No victory lap. Just people showing up because the vibe was better.

7 years of doctors telling me they don't know what's wrong. 7 YEARS π‘! Yesterday, they finally admitted to what I've been telling them the whole time. Overnight I channelled my anger and frustration into something productive. I dug up a health tracker I started building in 2023 and finally finished it. - 60-second daily check-ins - Pattern detection - A full advocacy timeline so I never walk into an appointment without receipts again When the system fails you, you become the system

There was an emergency COBRA meeting yesterday on the energy crisis. Manufacturers are facing the biggest cost spike since 1992. The Chancellor's response? "Contingency planning is taking place"

Last week I noticed my engagement dropped off and I thought I was just posting rubbish... So I built a script, pulled 30 days of data. Then posted about it on LinkedIn. A Trust & Safety Specialist at Meta commented saying it "highlights something many of us have suspected but couldn't quite prove." Anyway, posting the full breakdown here. On the platform in question ππ

It's the Oscars tonight and I've seen exactly one of the ten Best Picture nominees. One. But when that one has my husband (in my head) Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler collaborating? I picked right.

Type "what did my nan's generation experience when they came to Britain?" into most digital archive search bars, and you'll get nothing back. Not because the content doesn't exist. Because the system was never designed to understand the question. I wrote about what's actually broken. π± rainforeststudio.xyz/notes/why-digital-archives-fail-communities

Atlassian cut 1,600 people. 900+ were R&D and software engineers. Revenue's up $300M year-over-year. The share price went up ~4% after the announcement. That's it. That's the story. π

This morning I needed the yoga mat for regulation, not just movement. Cat-cow with my cat Toshi supervising, some gentle stretches, nothing fancy. Just enough to shift my nervous system out of freeze state. 20 minutes later, I was still processing. But no longer stuck in it. Yoga as emotional infrastructure, not just fitness. What's your go-to when you need a reset?

Most archives are beautifully organised cemeteries. I wrote about what makes a living archive actually living. Four pillars. Remove one, and you're back to a well-funded filing system. rainforeststudio.xyz/notes/what-is-a-living-archive

Spent years building systems to reduce my cognitive load while managing a neurological condition. Notion Custom Agents just launched. "The AI team that never sleeps." The real question is, does it reduce the overhead, or do you just end up babysitting the AI instead?

Built an AI agent last night to nudge me back to my yoga practice after months away. It pinged me at 7am this morning. I actually got on the mat. 10 minutes later, I remembered why I started. I guess sometimes a robot can help to bring you back to yourself. π§πΎββοΈπΏ
