Non-elasmobranch fluff flooding the feed
Key Questions
What is causing the influx of non-elasmobranch content in feeds?
An influx of generic listicles, videos, panels, zoo clips, beach videos, cams, conferences, plastics, Amazon, and deep-sea content—over 560 items by June 22, 2026—has flooded feeds. Examples include IUCN Green List sites, biobanks, ropeless lobster, and Japan deep-sea trenches.
Why is this non-elasmobranch content problematic?
The content is 'fluff' unrelated to sharks and rays (elasmobranchs), diluting focused feeds. Urgent measures like keywords, thresholds, false-positive blocking, and gating are needed to manage it.
What relevant elasmobranch conservation effort stands out amid the noise?
A comprehensive 'big book' documents Cameroon's sharks and rays, filling a critical conservation gap. This resource highlights targeted elasmobranch efforts contrasting the flooding generic content.
