Human curation will become more and more valuable, perhaps precisely because it does not scale.
You know which travel advice I prefer? The one from a small, local blogger that loves their city. You know where I find my music? At house parties. More and more, I also crawl the profiles of individual users for content that I might like.
The cosy web is my refuge from scale and its consequences.

I don't get randos from who-knows-where trying to hawk their wares in my private group chats, so those recommendations actually carry weight.
