Yes. This is exactly what would happen. It is sad.

  Automatic aggregation can always be manipulated by advertising, no matter how its served up. Filtering is essential.

  I occasionally feel like that already happened. Looking at quite a few modern social networks, like Instagram, "success" and engagement on many of these platforms seems to follow many of the same rules people use for SEO in regular websites. From an outside perspective much of the difference between many influencer or aggregation accounts and a bot with nice imagery escapes me. (Although I realize much of that is just me being old and grumpy and the difference is likely the community around those figures that I am simply not a part of)
