That's what social networks are. You post content that has an intrinsic value and passes under the bridge. You post a pointless sentence and get all the attention of the world.

People are people, no matter how decentralised or “independent” the platform is. There are exceptions, of course, but as a norm, that's it

Because most people are addicted to click bait titles and 30 second soundbites. Anything that involves actually thinking or reading is a foreign concept. And as long as that title or soundbite confirms some preconceived notion, any further content is irrelevant to them.
