Interesting, #Flipboard making an aggregator client called #surf.
I see two paths for the social splits happening. 
One is where aggregators become mighty important. Due to #fediverse and #SocialWeb becoming silos but still inclusive. So aggregator theory can shine. Not only work.
The other is to exclusivity, while being isolationist. It's the whole block a indexer or a server because reasons. In this path, very little can become of aggregators.

I don't have strict opinions on either.
But I definitely see the #fediverse with the exclusive isolationist ideologies.
Enough so that we may get further away from people joining because they simply don't know where to join. 
It stays highly community based, but very silo.
On the other hand, if we adopt inclusion to aggregators, we get scenarios that personal content becomes feed for the mass. Be it AI model training or feed generators. Not community based, but social by discovery. 
Navigating both the #fediverse and #ATmosphere, I think having community is just as important as having discovery.
We need the communities the focus, not the feed. 
The aggregator will help on discovery, but the networking of the community and keeping context is where these networks can shine.
