> Anyway is a localized feed, the more likes a post gets, the bigger the 'radius of discovery'. The kicker is that you can like things as many times as you want - now you can one-man-army your post into the spotlight.
This seems like bad mechanics design. Assuming the "radius = f(likes)" function isn't linear and asymptotes, everyone will just spam-like their post until it gets close to the asymptote. Then, the app essentially consists of posts that just have a constant radius (r ~ threshold radius), making dynamic radius a completely useless mechanic.
