Swarm behavior
By jamie
a cool Sociology thing where a bunch of independent agents swarm together to make some kind of beautiful phenomenon
Like how some flocks of birds create a fascinating blob / fluid looking behavior
How can WeWrite tap into this effect where people "swarm" around good ideas, and starve out bad ideas by ignoring them and giving them no funds
"They're cooking you in the backlinks" would be an example of swarm behavior On Here
Live streams, especially donations, and immediate responses (by the streamer) to the donations is a cybernetic feedback loop between the audience and the streamer, is an example of swarm behavior
Thinking about the book Hooked and the various reward loops
As you type a page, we should show recommended pages in the Page discovery section and that will kinda feel like swarm behavior, you'll be able to see other pages similar to yours as you write.
It's kinda like the related pages are "swarming" as you type
Then once you publish, you'll have joined the flock, and others will see your page alongside those other pages
Trending pages could allow users to swarm around trends
Going viral are an example of "digital swarm behavior"
FOMO is kinda a form of swarm behavior
