However it introduced algorithmic distortions Rogers did not anticipate: platform recommendation engines concentrate information flow through centralized nodes, creating the appearance of mass adoption while actual behavior change may lag.

Social Network Theory (Granovetter, 1973; Borgatti et al., 2009) explains the macro-level structural conditions that accelerate or inhibit that process.
