  2. 2A feed where the absolute worst-case read latency must never exceed fifty milliseconds for any user
  3. 3A feed where users follow no one at all and only ever read back their own previously published posts
  4. 4A celebrity with tens of millions of followers, where writing a post to every inbox is prohibitively expensive
