Yeah, there's multiple opposing factors here... by interacting with hot takes, the algorithm is being trained that it's that type of content that keeps you on the platform... AND the algorithms knows that hot takes drive engagement overall AND people desperate for attention are being trained to post hot takes.... which is all, ironically, pushing you off the platforms.

I genuinely think we're going to see a lot less people interact with social media over the next decade or so as most of us realize the negatives outweigh the positives.
