So can we at least take a second to appreciate the orders of magnitude of growth between BBS' and tiktok? With data structures and algorithms we're very willing to accept that orders of magnitudes shifting can change our basic assumptions about things.

The point isn't that these things haven't existed in some form forever, it's that they're scaling to points where these effects are becoming increasingly dangerous, proportional to the growth of these systems.
