    TF, this guy is still getting millions of views on TikTok and Twitter.

    Can we just burn engagement-driven social media? Please?

      It just doesn’t make logical sense. The most “successful” social media accounts are always the shittiest. You’d think it would completely devalue what a “view” is worth, but I guess eyeballs are eyeballs. Then the whole click farm situation where you just buy engagement. A secondary market that just reminds you of the Ouroboro.

      I think I’m missing something because somehow half of tech is funded by it.
