It might just be the cynic in me but let’s be honest my cynical side is right %99.999… of the time and the rest of me is a vestigial organ held on by foolish optimism buuuuut I feel it’s to get all the benefits without giving back, the vast majority of all traction on a post is in the first few minutes and you cant comment on a post in real time unless you join their proprietary walled garden, it’s like free advertising, see a post you like in the fediverse? Oh no it’s already old and people have already made the top comments I guess I have to go to their app.
