Is it possible to design a social media app or service that rather than focuses on farming engagement, it tries to promote quality content? (lemmy.world)

It was called newspaper back in the day. Printing something was expensive so quality must have been good, that people were willing to read it. And social part was provided by posting letter to the newspaper adress with a hope to be printed.

As someone who has lived through some of the time with newspapers and without social media, no, quality was pretty bad back then too.
