Primes¶
- Proxy–Target Fidelity
- The fidelity is the degree to which raising CTR raises satisfaction, and it is exactly the use-relative, regime-relative quantity the prime names: across a broad population in a stable product, CTR may correlate decently with satisfaction (the descriptive regime), but under optimization pressure the fidelity erodes — the system learns to raise clicks through clickbait, outrage, and compulsive-but-unsatisfying engagement, raising the proxy while lowering the target.
This sourceDocument that optimizing engagement/click-through proxies promotes clickbait, outrage, and compulsive-but-unsatisfying content, eroding long-run user satisfaction.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
