  • The meta-game can shift rapidly even from small changes.
    • Often a small change happens that changes the meta-game, and no one realizes.
    • At the beginning a few savvy players realize and exploit it, before anyone else realizes.
    • For example, last year, Twitter changed it so you can't see who liked a tweet.
      • They did it for… reasons. But it also changed the meta-game.
    • That means that it's easier than ever before for someone to make bots to create the appearance of momentum.
      • Especially in the age of LLMs.
    • Keep that in mind when you see what looks like momentum.
