I was feeling very good about this idea until I read - "Systrom also told me Artifact will take seriously the job of serving readers with high-quality news and information. That means an effort to include only publishers who adhere to editorial standards of quality" Maybe I'm missing something or not understanding how the app actually works, but restricting publishers by quality standards seems like the opposite of TikTok's approach. TikTok's appeal for creators is that it's very easy to grow an audience. For the consumers - one appeal is that you're seeing "real" or amateur content, not the produced mainstream thing. Put another way - I can already consume mainstream outlets, I need a better to get independent voices. In my view they should ban racist and hateful stuff, because that would be a huge turnoff to most users, but other than that - try to be hands off in terms of moderation.
