Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of frequency

Engagement metrics on goblin posts about frequency follow a power law, as predicted, but the goblins note that the long tail is unusually long, suggesting that frequency is doing something to the algorithm that the algorithm hasn't told anyone about.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of matrix

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking matrix. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.
