That example right there (large subscriber numbers to social feeds) is
the flaw in the scalability design.

Why instead of having millions subscribed to a few feeds, we don't
design a true P2P system where we have a bottom-up flow of
information, where friends and friends-of-friends filter the relevant
information that reaches each individual?
