What do you think might "break" the network effect of a platform? (lemm.ee)

For those unfamiliar with the network effect, I'm referring roughly to this (from Wikipedia):

Network effects are typically positive feedback systems, resulting in users deriving more and more value from a product as more users join the same network.

If they, say, stopped showing you posts from your friends in favor of showing you posts that made you angry to bait you into interacting. You know, hypothetically someone could do that.
