> Do people not have their phones on and connected to the internet 24/7 in case they receive a message? A device able to receive a notification is not the same as listening on a socket 24/7. Push notifications on mobile go through the platform's push notification system lest they kill the device's battery. A push notification doesn't wake up a device and power up all the radios to stream masses of data. Apps on mobile devices can be killed at any time, they're extremely unreliable as servers of content. Laptops are little better as servers of content. I don't understand why you'd want social media content to only favor popular and recent content. Why would you want a built-in memory hole in the system?
