They won't. They'll become networks full of noise. To be fair, they already have. The ratio of noise to non-noise is already like 10:1. The real social communication has already moved off of these feed-based apps. It's taking place in closed group chats between people who all know each other.
What you say is interesting. A few weeks ago I created my reddit account. It's a bit complicated to get started but the discussions are so much more interesting. The fact that you have to have karma points to post is very interesting. But the problem with creating closed groups is that these people won't have access to different points of view.
Karma farming is a thing. It’ll keep out the less determined spammer but not much else.
This was already a major problem before generative AI, so not much.
